Test 4.3 Tomorrow

The test is an open mind map test that covers episodes 1 & 2 on India and GLE #25 (how a bill becomes a law). Mind maps must be hand drawn by the student using them on the test and will be collected as part of the binder check. No photocopies or computer generated mind maps will be allowed. No linear notes (regular notes) will be allowed. I encourage you to see the timeline and episode guides here: http://www.pbs.org/thestoryofindia/

Test 4.2 on Friday, April 8

Our last test before the LEAP, and therefore our last test on the GLE presentations, will be on Friday, April 8.  The test will cover civics GLEs 24, 25, and 29 through 41. We covered most of this the week before spring break. The test will also cover any LEAP review we complete this week. We will have a binder check.  Study guides are available on the iDisk (email me if any are not working) as usual. I will have hard copies of the study guides in class.

After the LEAP test the pace of the class becomes less intense as we build colonies in A.D. 1503 (a computer simulation of the early colonial period), study military strategy through Risk, and work on the student-designed projects (also known as the "Pick-a-Project").  We have a lot of fun after the LEAP.
