Hey Gang...I am obviously not here (again).  This darn tooth won't stop giving me trouble!  I am visiting the Tooth Fairy today, so I will not be in class.  Please complete the following today, and thank you for your good behavior.

You will need a computer and you must work individually no matter what. They need to do this assignment on their own!

Read pages 1-9 in the Google Doc and do not forget to watch the “Imperialism” flick!

Either in their SS Journals or on a separate loose leaf piece of paper, please answer the following. This must be handwritten unless they have an accommodation. -10 points if typed without an accommodation.

This is a HW grade due Monday when you walk into class!
