We wrapped up Period 3 today with a discussion over aspects of the Washington and Adams administrations.  Because of time, we modified these activities today so they will not be required in the binder tomorrow. Also please note that the Runaway Slave Advertisements activity was one form per group so you can drop that off the binder list.  The last binder item I've been asked a lot is the Jamestown Documents.  We did that immediately following the passenger lists activity and it was only one question: Based on the evidence in the documents and data charts, why was the life expectancy for new arrivals to Jamestown so low?  ​ 

Tomorrow I will collect your binders at the top of class then we will roll directly into the exam.  Make the most of your review time tonight, but don't stay up late stressing!  Research shows cramming the night before doesn't help and panicked reviewing on the day of the exam actually results in lower grades!  Just breathe and relax, do a reasonable review tonight and you'll be fine. :)
