ClassWork: The fall semester will begin by studying the exploration of the Americas by European countries.  What motivated them?  What impact did they have in America?  Why did England become the dominant power in what is today Canada and the northern United States?

 

EXTRA CREDIT:

Students can earn extra credit at the end of a quarter by doing the following:

1. Turning in homework on time.  Homework is extra practice.  Students can earn up to 3 points extra at the end of the semester.  Because it counts as extra credit, I do not accept any late homework unless you were absent.  I plan to discuss homework on a certain day.  It doesn't do the class any good if you bring it the next day.

2. Bringing supplies to class.  Being prepared is key.  We can't afford to lose time by students tracking down materials.
