2/12 AP World History

Students need to finish reading all of Chapter 17 and be ready to write a Comparative Essay on Friday.  The topic of the essay is "Compare the Spanish and Portuguese colonies of Latin America to the English and French Colonies of North America."
If students bring a list of Sims and Difs I will lecture on the topic before they write the essay.  If students do not come prepared I will have them write the essay then I will lecture on the second half of chapter 17.
