Week of April 13-17
The Civil War has ended. What was life like afterwards for the people in the North and the South? That is what you will be learning about this week. Take the quiz once you have finished all of the daily work. There is a writing assignment for Day 5. We will discuss the information in the articles during our Monday Meeting on 4/20. I have included the questions after the daily reading. You do not need to write the answers down.
These assignments will also be uploaded to Google Classroom if you wish to access them from there. Just do whichever is easiest for you. Keep up the hard work! I am proud of you!
Day 1
