5. Dan-dan history:
We've seen that from 1860-1900 the US went through several major changes. First, it occupied the western lands and drove the indians off. Second, industrialization went into full swing and a whole class of wealthy factory owners grew up. Now we are going to look at something else: the expansion of the US overseas -- the Spanish-American War. Start with this site which outlines the war. Pay particular attention to the role of the media, the press.

1. Dan-dan & Zeb; big math and math practice books
2. history: Zeb, continue code book. Dan-dan, we are going to read about John Rockefeller, one of te most famous big businessmen of the 19th century.
3. science: Dan-dan big science book, zeb and dan-dan, another section of the chemistry workbook together.
4. English: Act ONe, scene 2 of Othello. Carefully read Iago's passages and Othello's. What is Iago saying here, and who is he talking about?
Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
Yet do I hold it very stuff o' the conscience
To do no contrived murder: I lack iniquity
Sometimes to do me service: nine or ten times
I had thought to have yerk'd him here under the ribs.
Note that these words at the opening are addressed to Othello. Iago is saying he lacks the courage for cold-blooded killing -- so really he has to find someone else to do the dirty work for him. yerked = stabbed.

1. Free Reading Dann0, if you are looking for something, try finding the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov

Dan-dan: this month we looked a little at the Indian wars and at the Westward expansion. Now we are going to return to the east to look at industrialization in the second half of the nineteenth century.
