Today, we will be going over the Review Powerpoint in order to prepare for tomorrow's test.  Here are the two things you need to prepare for the test:

Review Powerpoint (You may want to print this out before class)
Unit 3 Overview

Tonight, I will be online if you would like to study some.  8:30 or so.

Tuesday, November 25

Test: Unit 3 Mid Point (Chapters 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

You will need to read and take notes over Chapter 12 over break.  Your quiz over chapter 12 will be on Tuesday, December 2.

Have a great THANKSGIVING!

Schedule November 17-21

Monday, November 17

1.  Quiz over Chapter 9
2.  Finish your map packet.

This Friday, you will be having a mid-point Unit 3 exam.  We have covered a lot of information, so we need to check progress.  The exam will be 55 questions---55 points (so, about half as much as a unit exam).

To prepare for this exam, you will have to take THREE quizzes in Schoology.  You cannot advance to the next quiz, until you have achieved a certain score.  These will need to be done by FRIDAY morning.  Anything not completed by then will be counted as a zero.

Also, we will be having a reading quiz when we come back from break on that Tuesday over chapter 12.  So you may want to start reading Chapter 12 before Thanksgiving so that you do not have to spend your time on World History.
