The Age of Jackson

As we head into Chapter 10 this week, we wanted to remind you that you do not have any Omnibus homework this week. Instead, you should be focusing on your BJU History assignments below and putting together your Rough Draft for your Living Timeline Character. Remember, all rough drafts are due this Friday, the 20th, and presentations will begin next Friday, the 27th. You should have all of the information on your character from the Fact Sheet gathered so you can make any corrections and add photos for your final copy the following week.  If you need a reminder on who your character is, see this post.  A copy of the fact sheet is also listed below.
