The Dred Scott Decision

Happy Camel Day,

      We are nearing the last few articles that explain some of the causes of the Civil War.  Continue to remember your inquiry and reading skills. Conceptual annotation and critically thinking about relevant information are vital when constructing meaning from text.  What do you know based on what you read?  How do you know it?  And, more importantly, why is it relevant?   

      The article today, which will open us up to our activity later, is The Approaching War: The Dred Scott Decision.  Please do a few things before we begin reading today...

1.  Log onto Hippocampus.org (History & Gov. - U.S. History)
2.  Watch the presentations that accompany our articles
3.  Review, read, or reread the Kansas-Nebraska Act and/or The Dred Scott Decision
4.  Prepare for the Slip Game

Sincerely,
C
