4/22 and 4/23 5th and 4th AP WH

Students took notes on chapter 28 in class today.  Students were given a key term sheet for chapter 29.  This is due for a grade next class.  Students need to read the sections of their textbooks that the key terms are found in.  Simply writing the definition will be good enough to get homework credit but it will not properly prepare you for the test!  The next test we take will be on Chpaters 28 and 29.  Date for the test is TBD.  Also don't forget that your thesis statements for your research papers are due for a grade next class.
