Limit Distractions

There are two weeks left in the semester. Now is the time to really limit distractions and finish strong... so in that vain we have a new seating chart.

This week we going to be looking at early African civilizations. Africa has a unique oral history tradition so we are going to be doing less writing/reading this week and more talking.

In class today we are learning about Great Zimbabwe. Normally we might just read from this great source but instead I am going to tell you the story (and your not going to be allowed to take notes... you just have to focus on listening). We're also going to be going over last week's quiz.

This week's reading is Chapter 7 (all the sections) and your quiz will be a take home oral quiz. Due Monday, Jan. 23rd. ALL makeup work is also due MONDAY, JAN 23rd.
