Unit 6 Test is Monday, November 17. Please remember to come by my room before school if you need help with any of the material on the test.

We will begin WWII this week and will begin doing research on our decades project. Remember, you will be doing a comprehensive project on all aspects of your assigned decade: political, economic, social, leaders, world affairs, conflicts, cultural trends, and many, many more. One of the assessments will be your use of lab time so please stay focused and don't waste valuable time in the lab. Select partners who will do their fair share!

So far your WWI Newspapers have been excellent! Your articles are thorough, well-written, and the papers are beautifully designed and well organized. Great job!

The standard for our WWII unit is SSUSH19 - details can be found at http://www.georgiastandards.org
