Weekend Reminder

Team Euro,

As nationalism was the rallying cry of all nations and people in Europe during the 19th and into the 20th century, there is much to tackle in this unit.

My hope is our royal families will do an excellent job covering the material for their country to share with the other royal families. You will be giving the extent of Monday in class to polish what you have done. Your finalized work will be due Tuesday.

Remember there is a reading quiz on Monday.

Urban Society in the 19th Century Project

Team Euro,

Today and Friday you will be working in earnest on the Urban Society in the 19th Century Project. Use the text and whatever online resources you need to thoughtfully address what has been asked of you.

If you choose to work with a partner, be sure that you are familiar with all parts of the project. Do not delegate a portion of the project and not know what is being asked or how to respond.

Two elements that will be completed Monday: all creative projects for Part II and the MCQ for the chapter.

When you finish, continue on to chapter 25. I will post the reading, homework, and test schedule for the new unit in the next couple of days.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
