March 16th through Spring Break
AP Exam sign up needs to be done by March 30th ($87).
We will need to cover the dictatorships over Spring Break (sorry guys! Those furlough days are responsible for this).
You will be given chapter 26 and 27 to complete and turn in on the 29th.
If Mrs. Olsen is not back from Europe on the 29th (that is, if a volcano erupts in Iceland, or, she is asked to stay for Prince William's wedding) you will be viewing the slideshow about the three dictators, Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin.
On Friday, March 18th, Mrs. Platz, the substitute, will be administering your 100 point test on the 19th century. Good luck guys and good studying! You already have the yellow sheet, and on Wednesday, March 16th, after the slide show, you will have the period to study.
For Spring Break, you will also be given an official AP Euro practice exam. IT is an OPEN BOOK test, which means you can use the MOTHERSHIP and text to get the most correct answer.

Students learned about the Industrial Revolution yesterday and read an interview done in 1815 on the effects of Mill work on children. Chapter 18-22 is due on Thursday.
The chart on the different ideologies will be due on Monday, January 24rth.
All students have been given a hard copy of the test review. I made this LOOKING at the TEST, so kids, there should be very few surprises.

Please keep on top of your grade on INTOUCH as I put in these last few assignments.
