Today we got an overview of 1950s culture. We looked at I Love Lucy and what is tells us about 1950s society.
1950s class notes
On Monday we will have our 1950s Block Party. Students were assigned one section of Chapter 41 to become familiar with. The terms on the worksheet are there for guidance but not required. You should be able to get the big idea of your section across in a one-on-one conversation as if you were at a 1950s neighborhood party.
If absent, choose a letter between E and L in the worksheet below and take some notes on that section of the chapter. You can also get 2 points extra credit for bringing a 1950s related food, and 3 points for dressing up in 1950s garb (Think Pleasantville).

Junior Project: Students should be using their outline feedback to edit their outline. Work towards improving your Body Thesis Statements and adding analysis to your evidence.
