IB History Students

I hope you're all soaking up as much Vitamin D as you can this weekend. I got in two very windy bike rides in the West Hills. Anywho, I just wanted to give you a head's up on the agenda for the next couple of days. You will make a bumpersticker highlighting a topic from the current unit. You could make one for a utopian community, women's rights, abolition, Indian removal, etc. Start thinking about the issue that you would like to use for the bumpersticker. 


On Tuesday we MAY play review b-ball if there's enough time. Of course the test is on Wednesday. I believe Unis' class is taking their test on Thursday. WE ARE NOT DOING THAT. Please don't forget to come in for essay help if you made an appointment last week.


Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. I hope you're making significant progress on your IA. See you tomorrow.
