Review Activity

Summer and Winter groups only do this blog activity. Yet it would be a good idea to read each other's work over. Double-check each other's accuracy as well and post replies if you have any!



To help you to begin thinking about and reviewing the large amount of material you have already learned this year, your blog activity this time is to pick ONE item from any one of the Review postings posts and reply to that particular post, including all required information in your comment. It might be necessary to search (library, online, etc.) to fill in any gaps not found in your textbook. Do not reply to this post.


First come, first serve. Once a topic has been picked, it can't be done again by someone else.


Due January 7th, but doing it earlier gives you more of a selection to chose from and allows your classmates to benefit from your post.
