Students got back their unit 4 DBQs after looking at some samples, and then took the unit 5 DBQ.
The unit 5 objective test will be on Friday. Be sure to bring #2 pencils and high quality erasers (just in case). Don’t forget to take advantage of the review bank at The Testing Center.
Happy Kansas Day everyone!

Students reviewed the concepts of Nationalism and Imperialism, and I presented a brief overview of Latin American social structure of the 18th and 19th centuries.

We spent time reviewing the causes of the Industrial Revolution, the ways that life changed as a result of the Industrial Revolution, the reaction of the middle class to the Industrial Revolution, and economic philosophies that developed in response to the Industrial Revolution.
The take-home test, as well as the Industrial Revolution packet, is due on Tuesday at the beginning of class.
