As you know there are two weeks left of course instruction and we are short of time. In order to move more quickly I have cancelled the exam on the American Revolution. I will, instead, hand out a worksheet/quiz on the American Revolution to be completed at home. This information will be on the final exam, so you should take the time to complete the questions. The key will be made available for you to see how you did. Over the next two weeks I will cover the additional sections on the French and Industrial Revolution but in less depth.

I will hand out a review package by Friday. This package can be completed and handed in (for bonus marks) on the day students take the final exam. Students who review and make their own study notes will also be able to earn bonus marks. Please see me for further information.
