Week of November 28th - December 2nd

Overview of Week: At the end of the week, Thursday & Friday, you'll be taking a test. I promised you a review guide for the Objective section of the test which I will post here on Tuesday therefore any questions you have concerning the review guide must be addressed on Wednesday, since I will not be in class on Thursday or Friday. The Objective part of the test will be taken on Friday. On Monday I'll explain to you what Thursday's section of the test will consist (analyzing primary source documents).

Monday, 11/28
Begin with the section, "The Final Phase: The South"
Objective -- Understand and recall how the "Final Phase" spurred the beginning of the end of the Revolutionary War for the British.

Any time remaining (and there should be some...) begin the section, "War and Society."
