I finished off the PowerPoint presentation on "The French Revolution" today in class. We'll continue looking at the French Revolution in the coming days. I will try to send this presentation out to right after I post here on the blog (so figure about 8:45 p.m.). I didn't get the homework check on "The Enlightenment" PowerPoint today, we'll deal with that tomorrow. Depending on which section you are in, you either got your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions back and your Enlightenment Thinkers Quiz results back, or just the quiz results. We'll be looking at a documentary that does an outstanding job of covering the key events of the French Revolution tomorrow. Please remember that you have your World Geography Test on Friday, please see the study guide here.
