Welcome to Week #2! We're continuing our study of European Colonization 1600s-1700s.
Day 1
In Class: Hey Gang, I'm sorry I am not in today. Please continue to read
European Colonization and answer the Q's below in your notes. When you get to the part where it says
"Read Pages 48-59 and 65-68" this is a PDF. IF you don't want to use the PDF, you can use the actual textbook which is an orange book on the shelf under in the back of the classroom on a black bookshelf...
This is SUPER important and NEEDS to be done by Day 2. We are going over the Q's on Day 2 of this week. You may work with a partner, BUT you need to have the answers in YOUR notes. I may or may not check them for a HW grade on Day 2... Hmmm...IF you turned in your National Parks project today, make sure you have your name on the back and the block and be sure to take the "A for the Day" stamp and put a stamp in your agenda somewhere you can keep track of them for the year. If you have an Q's, you can e-mail me and I will do my best to check my e-mail and respond. Be Good!
