We are nearing the end of our first unit, which has included an overview of world cultures in the 15th century and an introduction to colonial societies in 16th century America. Over the next week and a half we will assess our learning in several ways, including a paper and an exam. Please keep in mind that your performance on these two items will be graded in five distinct components (paper - intro, draft 1 & draft 2; exam - score & notebook). Try to focus on each of these smaller tasks one at a time. That will make each one much more manageable, and add up to the highest achievement possible overall.
