TEXTBOOK CHAPTERS & CHAPTERS IN BRIEF. It is not necessarily a great strategy to re-read the textbook as this is a passive form of learning. However, I list them here as a reference. Also I have pdf'd the "Chapters in Brief" for the sections we have read. These are sort of like a condensed version of the chapter and a good activator for you to read before you begin the study of a particular topic. If you choose to print them out, please do not do it at school. Chapter 6.2: The Enlightenment in Europe Chapter 6.3: The Enlightenment Spreads Chapter 7: The French Revolution and Napoleon Chapter 8.1: Latin American People Win Independence Chapter 8.2 : Europe Faces Revolutions Chapter 8.3 : Nationalism Chapter 9: The Industrial Revolution Chapter 11.1: The Scramble for Africa Chapter 11.2: Imperialism Chapter 12.3: US Economic Imperialism

STUDY STRATEGIES TRY TO APPROACH STUDYING WITH AS ANALYTICAL A MINDSET AS POSSIBLE. IF YOU TRY TO MEMORIZE ALL OF THE FACTS AS INDEPENDENT ENTITIES YOU WILL BECOME OVERWHELMED AND THEY WILL BE LIKE GRAINS OF SAND THAT SLIP FROM YOUR MIND. BUT! IF YOU APPROACH IT BY ASKING YOUR SELF ANALYTICAL QUESTIONS YOU CAN PULL FROM THE INFORMATION YOU ARE TRYING TO LEARN AND TURN IT INTO A BEAUTIFUL SAND CASTLE OF KNOWLEDGE. THE ANALYSIS IS THE WATER THAT HOLDS THE SAND TOGETHER AND MAKES THE CASTLE! (I KNOW, SUPER CHEESY -- BUT GET IT?) ASK YOURSELF: WHY? HOW? WHAT ARE THE CAUSES? WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS? WHAT ARE THE MOTIVATIONS? WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? WHAT ARE THE VARIOUS POINTS OF VIEW? WHAT ARE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AND AMONG IDEAS, EVENTS AND TRENDS, UNITS ?
