GO to website below on the Mexican War and click on the "Biography" section. Read 3 bios of Americans and 3 of Mexicans who served in the war and write a short paragraph on each in your HW books. For extra credit, click on other links on the site and write a brief paragraph about other articles - I will award extra credit points for each additional summary you do.
Don't forget to continue to keep up with your reading. If you have finished one book, return it and let me know what you are going to read next. Do not take a break in your reading - I am grading you on how many pages you should have read by now based on 30 pages per week, so don't fall behind!
Lincoln papers are due on Dec1
Field trip to Gettysburg is Sat Nov 29 - we will leave from St. Tim's at 8:30 am. Please let me know by Nov 17 whether you are able to go and if parents can drive - we need transportation for sure!
Have a great week!

The Dad of this last hero said afterward, "For Ross, I think what he did was simply understanding a simple mathematical truth...Four is greater than one..." Unreal...
