Our Next Unit!!

We're about to move to our next unit of study. Before we get started though, a few housekeeping reminders:

- Monday, November 9 is your LAST day to make-up the Unit 3 Test. If you made below a 75% you MUST make-up this test. Remember, our goal is 80% mastery!

- Thursday, November 12 will be a Mini-Test. Think of it as a big quiz, the Mini-Test will cover the following items:

* Articles of Confederation vs. U.S. Constitution: What's the difference?

* U.S. Constitution today

* separation of powers

* checks and balances

* 3 branches of government: what are their roles/responsibilities?

* Georgia Constitution today

* Elections

* Voting

* Our role as a citizen

* The Establishment of the University of Georgia (go dawgs!)

* Louisville, Georgia

* The spread of Baptist and Methodist Churches in Georgia

* Growth and Expansion in Georgia after the American Revolution

....It sounds like alot, but I promise you will be more than prepared to take this "test" by Thursday.
