Test over Civil War Chapters 20-21 tomorrow.

Bring your textbooks with you tomorrow and Thursday.

If you are eligible, you should be reading your extra credit book if you choose to do an extra credit project. Remember, you cannot do extra credit in place of regular credit assignments, so if you are missing an essay or revision, you are ineligible.

Outline notes over Chapter 22 due Thursday. I will post the outline below here later.

Extra credit book choice due Monday.

Make sure you decide on a book if you are going to do the extra credit assignment by Monday. This can raise your grade as much as 3-4 %.

Once again, practice making your own outline over Chapter 19. Organize around 3-5 encompassing questions. Due Monday.

Do not simply write notes for each subheading. Organize your notes according to broad topics.
