I gave you results back for your Unit 1 Written Response Assignment I and your Unit 1 Final Exam. I also did a PowerPoint presentation called "Historical Globalization and Imperialism". This presentation corresponds to Chapter 7 in your textbook, with some supplementary material. I have sent this PowerPoint presentation to you already, please print it off (4-6 slides per page) and add it to your notes. I will be doing a homework check on this on Monday. As well, your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Monday. Please see the instructions below if you're not sure how to print off a PowerPoint presentation.




When I send you presentations, here is what I recommend that you do: keep an electronic copy of the presentation, preferably in an appropriately named folder. Next you'll need to print it off. I recommend that you print off 4 slides per page. Here's how you do it. Open the presentation up in PowerPoint, then go under File and select Print. Then set things up like the picture below:

No, as long as you can read it, that's all that matters.
