The plan for this week is to finish the section that we have been working on. I am planning on a quiz for Thursday. Your homework is to review your notes and to review Chapters 1 and 2 in your text. Any homework that you have not completed must be submitted by the end of this week for credit.

**__October 8-12, 2012 __** "Where I'm from we believe all sorts of things that aren't true. We call it history." The Wizard of Oz  Monday was a holiday to celebrate Cristobal Colon (Christopher Columbus). There are twelve cities or towns in the United States named after him, not to mention the nation's capital in the District of Columbia, the South American country of Columbia and the Canadian province of British Columbia. There are schools, squares and statues honoring Columbus on both sides of the Atlantic. Yet, revisionist history has marked Columbus as an evil man who should not be honored at all and that he was responsible for thousands, if not millions of deaths.
 * Your assignment**: write an essay (at LEAST three paragraphs) explaining whether or not you think we should continue to honor Columbus, using facts, logic and common sense. Remember to consider 'worldview.'
