Hello Parents & Students!

This week we start Unit 4 - The New South. This unit will be focusing on standard SS8H7a-d.

SS8H7 Evaluate key political, social, and economic changes that occurred in Georgia during the New South Era.

a. Identify the ways individuals, groups, and events attempted to shape the New South;

include the Bourbon Triumvirate, Henry Grady, International Cotton Expositions, and Tom

Watson and the Populists.

b. Analyze how rights were denied to African Americans or Blacks through Jim Crow laws,

Plessy v. Ferguson, disenfranchisement, and racial violence, including the 1906 Atlanta

Riot.

c. Explain the roles of Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. DuBois, and Alonzo Herndon in advancement of the rights of African Americans or Blacks in the New South Era.

d. Examine antisemitism and the resistance to racial equality exemplified in the Leo Frank case

The lessons this week will be using the PowerPoint attached under the Resources Tab SS8H7. Cloze notes are inside the PowerPoint.

This will be a busy week for us and I hope you are ready to learn.

Some of you still have not turned in your campaign speech that was due last week. Please turn this in ASAP!
