Chapter Assignments
Part I: Read the following chapters:
Chapter 40 "The Resurgence of Conservatism"
Chapter 41 "America Confronts the Post-Cold War Era"
Chapter 42 "The American People Face a New Century"
Part II: Grade the Presidents:
For each president (Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, Obama) you will be giving him a grade of how well the president handled the issues. While it is tempting to classify everyone as inept or to allow your political views to influence you, please try to be unbiased and consider both sides. While you will surely have some bold opinions, please back up your opinion with examples and evidence. Here is the link to the Google Doc.
