Social 20-1

I went through how to write a WRA I assignment today in class. All of the handouts that you got today, you will be able to use while you are writing tomorrow's WRA I. I also took in your French Revolution DBA assignment today, so if you didn't hand this in you have lost 10% on this assignment. There were four of you that didn't hand it in, but only two of you have a legitimate excuse for not getting it in today. You may have guessed that I have already marked this assignment, you'll get it back tomorrow (if someone reminds me). One week from today, you will be writing your Chapter 3-4 Test, please see the study guide below.

CHAPTERS 3-4 TEST STUDY GUIDE:

This quiz will be on Tuesday, March 7th. It will consist of a matching section (10 key concepts) and a short answer section.

• make sure that you study the PowerPoint presentation "Contending Loyalties"
• make sure that you have read Chapters 3 and 4 (it is all testable material)
• know the key concepts/key terms from Chapters 3 and 4 (please see the Unit 1 Worksheet for these)
• study your answers to the Chapter 3 and 4 questions from the Unit 1 Worksheet (all could potentially be on the quiz)
