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!
