Last week we read and discussed the first chapter of Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States and had an open class discussion about it on Friday. We also finished up Topic 1 on America's cultural roots and the Columbian Exchange and had a quiz on the material this Monday. This week we are starting Topic 2 on England's American colonies and will be discussing this topic into next week. I am really pleased with all of the participation and thoughtful discussions we are having in class! You guys rock!
