We finished off our film study of "Sicko" today, but I didn't really have enough time to get into the details of how health care has changed in the United States with the Obama administration. Hopefully, I get a chance tomorrow after you finish off your Chapter 1-2 Test. The study guide for the Chapter 1-2 Test is below, and the study guide for the Unit 1 Final Exam is here.

I gave you most of today's period to work on clearing your homework schedule up. You could have worked on your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions (due tomorrow) or your Global Connections Essay (also due tomorrow), or your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions (due Friday). Please make sure that you have actually read Chapters 1 and 2! You have a test on these two chapters coming up. Your World Geography Test is on Friday as well, please see the study here. Remember, for this test you must know 10 key world cities and about 40-45 countries from the list of countries provided on the study guide.
