The last reading assignment for the new unit "Global Issues Come Home" will be due next Wednesday -- pp.694-725... So, today and tomorrow will be work days, with the Turn of the Century papers due at the start of class Monday, at which point we'll begin in-class activities for the "Global Issues..." unit. [Because the last unit of the year -- "Modern United States" involves the same amount of at-home reading and note-taking, but a smaller amount of in-class activities, it is important that our homework reading and notes keep ahead of what we're doing in class for now; it will all come together at the end with less stress (no cramming.)]
