Please complete the map related to your summer that includes positional information with a layer of quantitative data (number values) on top. Please don’t forget your legend!

Due Wednesday.

Please write a paragraph (minimum 4 sentences) about the simple machine you sketched in class.  This piece should explain what your simple machine does and how it makes work easier.  Finally, please list 5 examples of that simple machine that you have at home.

World Civilization:  Wednesday, June 2, 2010

FINAL EXAM on Chapters 8-17 with the caveat that, as discussed in class, history is a continuum and you may want to (and probably should) reference earlier materials.  For example, in discussing the Italian Renaissance, you would want to discuss the fact that people were affected and inspired by the Classical Art of the Greeks and Romans.  Your outlines and class notes from Chapters 4-6 would be helpful to have on hand in such an eventuality!

Civics;  due Wednesday, June 2, 2010
