 * I will be out of school Monday, March 12.**

You have two choices for spending your time in class. The substitute will be screening Episode 10 of //America: The Story of US//, which is the WWII one. You should print out the WWII war chart from above, bring it to class, and see how much of it you can fill in from the documentary alone. You may also use the time to catch up on Ch. 26 reading, if you bring your textbook. Please be productive and enjoy the movie.

We will be starting Ch 27 Tuesday. The Ch 25-26 test is still scheduled for Wednesday.
