September 19


We started watching a film today in class called "Whale Rider". We'll be finishing up our film study of this film tomorrow in class, and we'll be discussing in class as well. Don't forget your Illustrated Concept Map is due on Monday, tonight would be a good night to work on it because you don't have any homework assignment from me tonight.


Today I showed a Biography video of Napoleon Bonaparte. While you were watching the video you were to fill out a timeline of key events in the life of Napoleon. It would be a good idea to read Chapter 4 tonight in your textbooks so you'll further understand tomorrow's lecture/presentation on "The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte". It would also be a good idea to maybe fill in some gaps in your timeline using the textbook as a guide. I collected your DBA #1 assignment today. The French Revolution word search puzzles are due tomorrow, there is one homework credit at stake for both of the word searches, so make sure that they are both complete, and that you have written out the solution to the word searches.

Make sure that you have read Chapter 4 for tomorrow.

I can't really think of anything. I would really recommend preparing for that French Revolution Quiz. Test yourself on those key terms that I listed off in the study guide. They will be in a matching section. Prepare yourself for short answer questions related to the French Revolution. Look at the other bullet points to see what some possible questions might be. Treat them as if they are short answer questions, and try to answer them. Actually write out answers for the questions, and then memorize your answers. Some of the topics on the study guide are covered better in the textbook than I did in class, in particular the changes the Jacobins introduced to French society. I hope these tips help.
