Here we are...the final week of the 1st quarter!
***Remember, you have until Friday to do the extra credit assignment that was given last week (scroll down to see the directions in the previous post).

US= Your Chapter 3 Homework Packets are due this week (Tuesday 10/30 for periods 1, 3, & 5 and Wednesday for period 6). You will also be taking your Chapter 3 Test on that day. Don't forget to be working on your Biography PowerPoints (many of you have already presented & are done) because your second (and final project of the semester) will be assigned this coming Friday (11/2) & the following Monday (11/5).

PacRim/IR= There are several of you who did not turn in your grad checks last week (that means ZERO out of 50 points). If you bring it to me I may show some compassion & give you some points. On Tuesday you will receive the details about your Poem on Women that is due next Monday (11/5). You will also have your Northern(ish) Half of Africa Map due on Wednesday (this map will be passed out in class on Monday, you are to label all countries & capitals listed on the backside...if it is neatly colored you will receive bonus points).
