WORLD HISTORY: changes to World Notes format
Moving forward, follow the same format as before but with the following changes:
1) You will identify TWO factoids as the most significant or relevant in the reading and put a STAR next to them.
2) You will determine which course theme the factoids relate to, i.e. power, wealth, or ideas. Write the theme that best applies next to the factoid you've starred.

Welcome back! Here's hoping you've had a restful winter break and are ready to tackle some history in earnest!

We are switching note-taking strategies. Moving forward we will be using the WORLD NOTES format. Come see me if you need a refresher.
11/13 update
WORLD HISTORY ONLY
As announced a few weeks ago, there is no unit test for Unit 3: Revolutions.
Instead, we will have a quiz after every 2-3 sections. The quizzes are open-note. However, you will NOT be allowed to take the quiz unless you have completed the homework on-time. BE AWARE: if you're homework is NOT completed on the day it is due - at the beginning of class! - you cannot take the quiz.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
10/13 update
Unit 2 Tests scheduled!
US History - 10/19

Study Guides are on the calendar, too!

1.1. READ *only* the HEADER & SUB-HEADERS
1.2. WRITE one sentence that predicts what you think the
chapter is about.
þ 2. MAKE every HEADER&SUB-HEADER into a “WHAT” or “HOW” question
þ 3. ANSWER the question
þ 4. DEFINE every bold word in the chapter.
þ 5. WRITE a 5+ sentence paragraph summary about the chapter. What did you learn? Was your prediction correct?
