All students have been given a study guide (given on 5/26/15) and all students have been made aware of the Quizlet page concerning the concepts and vocabulary for the final assessment (focused on WWII).
This Thursday we are taking our trip to the Detroit Zoo. I attached a copy of the map of the zoo so you can begin to plan what sites you want to see. There are a great deal of attractions so you will have a great deal to chose from.
Make sure you come to school prepared for the trip. Bring comfortable shoes and clothing to wear. Bring snacks if you think you will be hungry. Sunscreen may be helpful as well!

It has been a long week but we are done testing right in time for a long weekend. I will see you Monday to start digging into the events of the second World War.
One thing you could do over break is watch a movie where the topic is WORLD WAR TWO, there are plenty to choose from. If you watch a WWII film write me a paragraph summarizing the movie and I will give you extra credit for it.
