"I would like to thank the members of the Academy for this award...and my mommy...and my puppy...and my good friend, George!"

STARRING the leading roles of Dwight D. Eisenhower, FDR, Truman, Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan, Magaret Thatcher....and too many others to mention....

We are DONE for the year so you should have plenty of time to finish your final project and prepare for the final...yes....we do have a final....SIGH....

QUIZZES

Yes...you do have a FINAL in this class...

You will have a FINAL EXAM Thursday, JUNE 1st!

This is over ALL material we have studied this year - mostly the PREAMBLES, PESKY DATES, MAPS, VOCABULARY and the 5 PATTERNS OF MANKIND.

STUDY GUIDES MAY be handed out in class - but if not, you know what is needed to study. Go through your reading/vocabulary sheets (and if you tossed them unfortunately, go through the blog for more sheets and fill them out again)...

[I REALLY RECOMMEND NOTECARDS if you have not made them yet]
