Class Updates: 12/7/12 and 12/10/12

On Friday (12/7/12) we didn’t have class due to the half day. Today in class (12/10/12) we started are new unit on the Civil War. We received worksheets that were about Abraham Lincoln’s idea of “liberty to all”; he compared this to “silver settings” and an “apple of gold”. The “silver settings” represent the government which has the duty of protecting the “gold apples”. The gold apples represent the people who give the government power.
