Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, March 18 through Friday, March 22

This week we will finish up our study of World War I, and we will spend some time working on the research paper project. Your outline is due at 4PM on Monday. Lateness is not an option.  I will aim to return it to you within a couple of days.  After the outline is given back to you, your focus will need to shift to preparing your first draft, which is due one week from this Friday, on April 4.
