OK: Please carry this with you (home and back until Monday, May 23 – at which time, I will sight
check it during one of our classroom documentary “news reels”). Try to work on it for a minimum 2
hours per week, outside of class. DUE MONDAY, MAY 23. Do not wait until the last minute to try to
complete it all. We will complete much of it in class daily. Please try to get together with another
sophomore or a parent (with this sheet of topics in hand, work in pairs, get with another student
from my classes, or Mr. Fulk’s World classes, etc.
Work with a computer/textbook combo (Wikipedia, and Google are OK in this instance, then use
your textbook to confirm or expand) —These are all fine resources for the “basics”. When you
Google, also try to key in on websites with .edu .org, etc.)
Again, I would like to emphasize that it would be very helpful to hold a study session, or two or more,
with others who are working on a WH review for anyone’s class!
