This week is the last week to submit any responses, so if you’re missing some responses, get them in by the end of this week. If you have contracted for a C, remember that all of your materials are due by the end of this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please take a few minutes to fill out this self-assessment<\/a>; this will help Caitie and me make sure that we and you agree on the work you have done. Also PLEASE fill out your course evaluation, which you should have received an email about from the registrar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week’s activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Civil War is the defining event of our country, in a lot of ways. But it’s also the war about which there are more conflicting narratives than any other. While there are legitimate ways to evaluate the Civil War in a number of different ways, some narratives just simply aren’t correct. This week we’re going to take on some of those narratives and think about why they’re not correct and how they’re so insidious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, listen to this podcast from Spring 2020 or read the transcript<\/a>. (The voices at the beginning are several of my students from previous semesters!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
