Here are your assignments for the week. FYI, We are tentatively looking at a quiz/mini-test on Friday, on PROGRESSIVISM. Progressivism is covered in CHAPTER 17 of your textbook. CLICK HERE for a Presentation with all of the info that you will need about Progressivism (certainly enough to pass the exam).
The assignments...
Monday Night: Due Tuesday!

Enter the following passcode (copy and paste works best) yPNvYtchCh - If for some reason, you can't set it up, please come see me during afterschool, and we can set up your account.
2. Once you've signed into your account, click here to watch the video "America in the 20th Century: The Progressive Era."
