This week we will focus on chapter 8, "America Secedes From the Empire, 1775-1783." On Monday I will give you the opportunity to work with a partner to answer the list of chapter 8 questions that I put together this weekend. Please make sure that you read chapter 8 this weekend so that you'll be ready to begin. For those of you who missed the test on Thursday, you may use the class period to take it.
Looking ahead: Beginning with chapter 9, we're going to change the note taking process. You will have a choice: either create your own set of notes (paragraph/bullet points for each section), OR you can print out the set of notes from www.apnotes.net and go back through, highlighting and strengthening them. They're good, but like Wikipedia, they're not perfect. Your job will be to make sure that the notes cover the important elements of the chapter: key people, terms, events, and ideas.
