DO NOT FORGET TO LOG OUT FROM BLACKBOARD WHEN YOU ARE DONE!



I know many of you have had issues with logging into the book quiz...THAT's OK! We are trying to identify the kinks - please come to class with an explanation of what happened so I can call the book company and figure out what might be happening :) If you didn't try to log in until Sunday - that's a little different - the quiz "turned off" on Saturday at 11:59pm - you'll need to manage your time better - remember that I assigned it a week and a half before it was due.

OVERVIEW UNIT: Each week you will quizzed over a section of the OVERVIEW UNIT. The purpose of this unit is to give you the post holes on which to build the fence of BIG IDEAS in American History. These are the people, places, laws, documents and wars that create American History and these are the items in your memory that will be "tested" on the Ohio Graduation Test. If you can master this list __and connect this list together__ you will find this class more interesting. Think of this as housekeeping - if you do a little each day, you can enjoy life leisurely. This is the green section of your notebook:QUIZLET:This link will allow you to use and make online flashcards for the overview unit



This is the answer key to the entire Overview Unit. The bottom line is that you need it memorized...
