Yesterday a sub was in class and students watched a video on the Battle of Thermopylae.  Any students absent from class should watch this video.  Also, any students who did watch it in class, I strongly urge them to finish the entire video.

Today in class we reviewed for the chapter 26 assessment.  ASSESSMENT WILL BE ON THURSDAY!!

Here is the study guide:

ch 26 study guide

The study guide is very small because we have been making the tests too easy for the students, and the other teachers and I will make our study guides with questions that we haven’t really covered in class.  All other questions have been discussed in class.

Another portion of the test is the map of Greece.  Here is the map incase they lost it (1st page!!)
