I will be out of class today attending a workshop.

Assignments for today are:

Using your textbook, you are to complete the study guide (front and back) and turn it in.

Link to Study Guide online

Then, in the time left, I want you to write an acrostic using the word IMPERIALISM.  Complete this just like we did with IMMIGRATION a couple of weeks ago.  You should use each letter to start the beginning of a sentence that describes or explains something about imperialism.  There should be plenty of ideas in your textbook or on your study guide.  This needs to be turned in as well.

Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow!
