TUESDAY, OCT 19th PERIOD 2 - ANCIENT CHINA LESSON (Mr. Rizzo's Presentation) Since you all do not have access to Microsoft OneNote on your netbooks, I have converted the day's lesson into a .pdf. If there were notes you missed during class, most of the lesson is written out for you in this file. If you still have questions or think something is missing, please ask one of your classmates for the information first. You may always ask Mrs. Curtis or I after that, either through email or in person. We will be reviewing the entire China unit later next week to make sure everyone's study guide is accurate for the UNIT 1 EXAM.

I will also post a sheet shortly with the tips on note-taking we discussed during the lesson. Movie on Wednesday! China's First Emperor and the Wall of Doom!
