Exam 1.1 Preparation

We reviewed your American Colonies Chart - and I showed you how Google is truly your friend.  Click the first suggested page.  BOOM!  So, I hope you picked up some more on Mercantilism and how trade both helped & hurt the colonies and the mother country of England.  We are having study help after school today (Media Center) and before school tomorrow (337).  We will share a study guide with you. Please make sure you know the differences between the colonies (focusing on religion & trade), as well as material from chapter 1 (lessons 1-4) of the online textbook.

You actually have to work - read, learn, study, & know - in order to succeed in school.  It is not about showing up and earning credit for seat time.  It is about thinking, producing, and proving.  You should be devoting 30-60 minutes a week on each course, plus whatever else you need to do that was not finished during class time or regular assignments (like the WIL).  If you have difficulty reading, comprehending, or simply completing assignments, you will have to spend more time.  But that is what learning and working are all about - doing what is necessary to know and complete tasks.  Again, if you have questions, please see us before or after school - we'd LOVE to help you as you work to achieve success.
