Your French Revolution unit test will be the following Monday (10/5) - use these study questions to help you review.    Also, here is the link to the French Revolution program from the History Channel - you are not required to view it, but might find it helpful for review.  Finally, here are the Kahoot It review questions from class.  (I wasn't able to include the answer options, but the questions alone may be helpful).

Chapter 18 section 1 outline

Due Thursday 9/17 for C and E blocks, Friday for B block.  Follow the same guidelines as the previous outlining assignment (see previous post).

Thursday, September 10, 2015

Due Tuesday 9/15 (C and E blocks), Wednesday 9/16 (B block)

Read and outline chapter 17 section 2 ("France Under Louis XIV").

Follow these general guidelines for outlines:

-Always record all section and subsection headings to give your outline some structure.  Beyond that, you may either use a formal outlining structure (letters and numbers) or simply use bullet points to summarize information under each section/subsection heading - whatever works best for you.

-Be sure to copy bold terms (in blue text in the book) with their definitions, and underline or highlight the term itself in your notes.

-Rephrase the text in your own words.

-Don't skip the pictures and their captions or the "You Are There..." pages.  Those all contain pertinent information and need to be included.

-General length guideline:  Ideal length is 1.5 handwritten pages, 2 maximum.  Absolute bare minimum acceptable is one handwritten page.  (This means more than a paltry few words on each line to reach the page requirement.  Sparse notes like this will not be helpful for you).

You need to follow these guidelines to receive full credit.

All outlining assignments are worth 5 points, unless otherwise noted.

First homework assignments

Here is a link to the article given out in class.  Please write a one-paragraph response that addresses the following questions:  what relevance does this article have to world history?  (There are many possible answers!  Think thematically more so than literally).  Why else might I have asked you to read it?
See the syllabus for guidelines on expectations for written responses (under "grading").  In this case, as in most, follow the rules for formal, academic language and please type (ideally) and print or neatly handwrite your response.
Worth 10 points and due Wednesday for E block and Thursday for B and C blocks.

Here is the course syllabus - please return the last page signed by Thursday 9/10 (E block)Friday 9/11 (B and C blocks).
