US History:
No homework.

EL World History:
No homework.

APEH:
1. Second part of the Chapter 19 SG is due on Thursday. As you read along in the book, take a few notes in the chart of "Stages of the French Revolution."  Focus on the shifting systems of government: who has power? What ideas and goals are motivating the actions of various classes of people?

Sunday, December 18, 2016

US History:
1. You will be writing your Semester I final essay during block period. You may bring the prompt and your completed outline form. If you want to write your selected quotes on the back of the outline, that's ok...just remember, this is an outline, not a draft. Do not bring handwritten pages to the essay, unless you discuss it with me in advance.
2. Due Monday: "World War I, There and Here."

EL World History:
No homework.

APEH:
1. You should be working on the Chapter 19 Study Guide. We will fly through this Chapter, since you already know the basic outlines of the French Revolution. Focus on political ideas and the role of various social classes in the Revolution.
2. See me about a possible extra credit assignment (20 point maximum). This is only available to students who do not have zeroes in the gradebook for any of the Study Guides. If you have zeroes for any Study Guides, you should complete these for partial credit before the end of the semester.
