New Resource

Some of you have been asking about other ways to study. This site:

Hippocampus

has pretty good overviews of topics and does it in little movie/visual formats. It might be a good source for study resources (and also seems to have material for other classes).

Upcoming test and DBQ

The DBQ is up first. Anything from the Jacksonian era (1824 or so) up through 1860 is fair game as far as topics go. When studying for the DBQ, think about big picture issues. Reread chapter summaries, look through focus questions, and brush up on any content that you may have missed.

The second part of the test will be 65 multiple choice questions. You will have an hour of class to complete it, after which we will be working on another activity. The study guide is up now.

For your entertainment...
