I taught you how to structure your first paragraph of a position paper today in class. Don't forget that you have your Chapter 7 Test (on the Cold War) tomorrow. You can find the study guide for the Chapter 7 Test below. Your Chapter 8 Key Terms and Questions are also due tomorrow

Don't forget that you have the Unit 2 WRA II Essay on Monday, May 6th. 

It is a multiple choice test with 70-75 multiple choice questions, but with all of the omitted questions, it will be closer to 60 questions. Please make sure that you have read Chapter 7. Here are some other study tips:
