Hello my students! Unfortunately I will be out again. My daughter is in the hospital very sick. So this means that I expect my 17 year olds to be responsible and do their work on their own!

1. You must read all of Chapter 9. In addition to reading it, you are responsible for taking your own notes on the chapter. . .

2. In a email please send me a copy of the notes you take. Please do not rewrite the chapter -just take notes on the important information! Please break up each page by section 9-1, 9-2, 9-3
Put a title for the section and bullet points of important information.

YOUR EMAIL MUST HAVE YOUR NAME AND govt class SECTION ON THE SUBJECT AREA OF THE EMAIL. Those who do not have name and and class section will not get credit!!
