Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, April 19 through Friday, April 23

This week we will begin the final push before the end of the year. You are 5/6ths of the way through the course. The hardest part is yet to come, but the end is in sight. This week we will start work on the term paper outlines and begin our study of the Second World War.

Your next major test will be the final. It will ONLY cover the material from now until the end of the term, PLUS the questions from the US Citizenship test as discussed during Monday's class.

Keep up your hard work on the research paper. Remember that the outline you submit next Monday should be very detailed. Write in complete sentences and really use it as a preview of your paper. Feel free to conference with me if you have questions.
