Tonight(11/2), you have no homework.  We are taking a break in our pursuing studies of the Civil War.  Based on the interests of several (roughly 20) of your classmates, I will be crafting a new assignment with options that will meet the needs of those who wish to study military strategy in the Civil War.

Between tonight and November 9th, we will be studying the election.  We will attempt to do the following:

  1. Study this election in the context of other recent elections
  2. Consider the ways that technology and social media has altered the campaigns
  3. Identify which candidate you most align with based on:
    1. Policy
    2. Temperament
    3. Values
  4. Vote in our own mock election on November 8th
  5. Consider the election results and political landscape on November 9th
