Lyndon Johnson's presidency and the legacy of the Great Society were the focus in class today.  We started with a bit of DBQ practice with a Cold War DBQ, then we shifted focus to get a context for and understanding of the basic goals, makeup, and POV's related to the Great Society using some primary sources.  We wrapped up the day by taking a deeper dive into a set of documents related to the Great Society, using them to respond to four essential historical questions arising from the topic.

Make sure you have your chapter readings done for tomorrow, and also read and take brief notes over the selection "Conservatism begins in the Sixties" found under Period 8.
