We will continue to learn about the French Revolution.
Students will need to have the French Revolution Questions (3 part packet) done by Friday.
I handed out the extra credit film list, so students can view any of those films over the Christmas break.
Students will have homework. They will do Chapters 18-22 on the Industrial Revolution and Chapter 21, on Napoleon. We will study Napoleon the first week when we get back.

Week of November 15th-19th
Wow...we are almost done the Age of Absolutism.
Students should by now have finished the back page on the Rise of Russia.
We will have a brief discussion of the different reforms under Peter the Great, and also have a comparison of Peter the Great and Louis XIV.
We will spend some time on Monday learning about the Battle of Spanish Succession.
On Wednesday, we will begin to learn about the early enlightenment (chapter 18) and on Friday, we will be into the Enlightenment.
Take home assignment alert---we will mainly be studying the Enlightenment, Chapter 19, during Thanksgiving break. This of course means that there will be homework over the holidays...stay tuned.

Week of November 7th-12th
We are knee deep in learning about the Age of Absolutism and the Rise of Parliament..
Students will continue to work on their POA's for Chapter 18.
In class this week we will be reading the play "In a Time of Tulips and Turmoil." Students will have questions to answer, and an evalutation of Saint-Simon's description of the court during the reign of Louis XIV. Students will also take home and open book test due the next week.
Students will also need to view on line the slide show for Sweden and Russia after the Thirty Years War, and fill in the notes.
Because we are going to have a full week off at Thanksgiving two weeks from now, I will be handing out a packet. Students are going to have homework over this week--so be prepared. It, too, will be due when we get back the following week.

October 25th-29th
On Monday, students will take a major exam on chapters 15-16--the questions on the test are on the previous post. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when I put the test off for a day...I wonder why! They will also view a slide show about Copernicus and Galilleo. On Wednesday, students will be working all day out of the Green Palmer Colton Text. On Friday, the film Newton's Dark Secrets will also be shown.
I will be handing out many assignments on Louis XIV, the English Civil War, and the Restoration. Should be a busy week--but very interesting. The next major exam will be two weeks from Monday.
