Welcome to the second grading period of second semester. We have just started the 9th unit of the school year - Industrial Revolution and Age of Imperialism. This unit covers chapters 19, 20, and 21 in our textbook.
We are scheduled to test on March 4th (A-Day) and March 5th (B-Day).
As always, students will receive a study guide two class periods in advance. It is strongly encouraged to complete the entire study guide as it is a very good indicator of what will be covered on the test. Students also have the opportunity to earn extra credit!
Keep at it, spring break is just around the corner, and then it's all downhill from there!

Unit 8 Test - Political Revolutions
Our next test is scheduled for February 7th (A) and February 8th (B). This test is over our unit 8 which covers a lot of political revolutions. Most countries at this time were being ruled by abolute monarchs and the people will rise up with the new ideas from the Enlightenment and demand democratic style governments. The topics will include absolute monarchy, Glorious Revolution, American Revolution, French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and the road to Latin American independence.
The test will be 30 multiple choice questions and 1 short answer.
The chapters covered for this test are Ch. 14, 17 and 18, but the majority will come from Ch. 18.
A study guide will be handed out two class periods before the test, and all of the graded work will be handed back to study from.
Please come prepared! This will be our last Major Grade for the 1st six weeks of the second semester. The grading period ends on February 15th. And please be aware that this will also be a three-day weekend since Monday the 18th is President's Day. :)
