11.7.16 Second Great Awakening


Today, you will be learning about the Second Great Awakening: What is it? What caused it? What did it lead to?  You will be doing so through a series of videos and an article from Khan Academy.  Many of you loved Khan Academy for math, now let's apply that love to American History...who knew!! So, here is your To-Do list for the day...


  1. Watch...actually stop talking and WATCH CNN Student News. Tomorrow is Election Day, and I want you to be exposed to as much of it as you can, plus you all need to know why it feels like 10:30 and it is only 9:30.  
  2. Work on your vocabulary.  A link to the definitions is in the post from last week directly below.  Get all of your definitions done, before moving on.  It is another short week and you have extra words, so take advantage of this time.
  3. You will need a handout (linked HERE) to answer questions with the videos and as you read an article.  YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS INDEPENDENTLY.  If you have earbuds, use these, OR keep your volume low to not disturb others.  You will all be at different points throughout the day, and it could get quite confusing. Below are links to the videos and article.  All the answers are there and in order.  So replay certain parts if you need to. ****If the videos do not work, play them on this screen and pay attention! You will not be able to stop as frequently.  They worked fine on a Chromebook when I tried this at home last night.****
    1. The Second Great Awakening - Part I
    2. The Second Great Awakening - Part II
    3. The Second Great Awakening - Part III
    4. Transcendentalism
  4. If you finish this, continue working on your vocab.  I have a very busy week planned for us, and I want to give you as much class time to complete these as possible.  
  5. This should really be the first thing, BUT BE GOOD and MAKE ME PROUD!!!
