Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, November 10 through Friday, November 14

Here it is--the twelfth and final week of the longest term of the year. We will finish up learning about the differences between the antebellum North and South this week and might even have some time for review.  Your end of term exam will take place a week from Monday, so you will definitely want to make sure that you are prepared for that.  What are the best ways to do so? Review your old quizzes and tests and conference!

Topic: Discussion of the reading.

Homework: Make a sample end of term exam. Go through the study guide terms and come up with a list of ten (10) that you think should be on the upcoming exam. You don't have to give the Who? What? When? Where? Why? and So What? for the terms, but you DO have to tell me WHY you picked them.  Remember that you will only be asked about things that we spent time discussing in class. Do your best to note what day (or at least week) we went over each term.

The assignment is due at the start of class tomorrow.  Make sure that it is typed, proofread and that your name is on it.
