Happy Thanksgiving!

Our first big break is upon us and we are fast approaching the midway mark of school. Now is an important time to pay attention to your grades and start studying for your midterms.

Midterms are tests that you have in every class that asks you questions from the entire first semester. We will range from basic map skills to government types. If you are not comfortable with any of the skills we have covered in class thus far please come in for tutorials during lunch.

After the break we will look at the indigenous cultures of Latin America: the Mayan, Inca, and Aztec civilizations. These civilizations are ancient but we can see their influences in Latin American culture today. We will be doing a short project based on these civilizations followed by a study of modern day Latin America.

For your leisure time during the break you will receive a packet on each of these civilizations. The packets are not due until Wednesday December 1st, but if you would like to complete them and turn them in the Monday you get back I will give you extra credit (free 100 or replacement grade for a 0).

Safe travels, eat lots of Turkey, and I'll see you in a week.

Mr. Hanson
