Look over this list and make sure that you know and understand the following people, terms, and concepts. This is going to look very similar to your study guide and can help you get a jumpstart on studying for that test.

Have a lovely weekend!

World War I as of 3/4/2011

Updates to the Blog

So...the blog looks a bit new, eh?

I thought I'd make a few changes and see if this could be more helpful to people. If you look above these blog posts, you'll notice that there is now a calendar that lists the homework assignments. If you click on the assignment you're looking at, it will give you more details (including page numbers, etc.)

Also, there is a tab that has in-class handouts! How helpful!

Extra credit for anyone who comes in tomorrow (March 1st) and has THIS entry printed out. (Please don't print out the entire blog!!!)
