Week of November 6
Great job on exam # 2!! I was very pleased with the results and it is clear that what we're doing in class is working. We have now completed one quarter of the school year and you all have adapted admirably to the rigors of Modern World History. I recognize that it was a challenging transition in several ways. At this point, we have been through all of the major components of the course at least once, and hopefully you will take comfort in the fact that for the rest of the year things will be similar. Looking forward, we will be moving on to our next unit, which encompasses the global impact of religious and scientific developments emanating from Europe in the early modern period.
