Tuesday, November 4th

Advanced American Studies

Today we began some biographical research on activists from the 60's and 70's.  As you begin your research, keep in mind that you must build a historical argument about the individual you research.  A biography does not necessarily mean a listing of facts about that individual.  Rather, you should build a thesis about that person's impact on history and support that thesis with rich details to demonstrate the impact your historical figure had.

Upcoming reminders:  
Submission of Speed dating question -- Wednesday 11/5.
Speed dating activity and submission of biographical essays -- Tues. 11/11.
