About the Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) version of the GLE #63 Timeline

While the plain text version is easier to use, the .pdf version may be opened but you must use the magnifying glass tool to enlarge it enough to make the events visible.  If that does not work try the plain text version.  All the information is in it.  We are going over the timeline in class.

Study Guides on the iDisk for Test 1.2

I will provide paper copies on Friday.  The test Tuesday will cover GLE #67, Carthage, and the world history section of the GLE #63 timeline from A.D. 800 to 1600.

Edit:  GLE #68 will be on Test 1.3, not Test 1.2.

Update on Tuesday's Test

As I posted on the board in class, study:

• the Major System (click to see the web page discussed in class)
• the GLE #63 Timeline (300 B.C. to A.D. 800) (see the iDisk if you missed any notes)
• Marathon

Test and Binder Check on Tuesday

The next test will be on Tuesday. Study the GLE #63 timeline that we have covered up to that day.

Quiz and Binder Check on Tuesday

The quiz will cover Egypt, Hannibal, and the GLE #63 timeline (just the section on world history to 300 B.C.).  The binder check will only include mind maps. Check the iDisk for a version of the timeline that may be viewed as an Acrobat file. Look in the 8th Grade Social Studies folder > History>gle63. Use your mind map on Egypt to study for the quiz -- it is not based on the crossword puzzle that your did last week.
