Everyone should have a yellow review booklet (Orange group = you will receive yours on Monday, period 1. You have all period to work on it... quietly.. ); it covers the "high points" of Quebec's economic development over 500 years. If you were absent on Thursday or Friday, come collect it in D-417 on Monday before noon.
Use your notes and textbook to go through it effectively. This review does not cover EVERY aspect - thus, it is important to read over your notes or the chapter summary... See posts below for study tips.
Good luck. Email if you need any questions asked. Will do my best to answer.

End of British period, beginning of Canadian
I'm sure many of you are desperately trying to figure out what to do with your snow day. Well, you can tell your parents that you really really can't shovel the drive-way, as you have history to study and work on...
Group 06 (Orange):
-many of you did not do the work I assigned to you for last Thursday, which was then re-assigned to you on Thursday in my absence... Sadly, it still wasn't completed yesterday, when it was due - most of you need to complete the back of the booklet. Read the corresponding textbook pages (186-187) and answer the questions. Using the documents and reading, you are expected to explain the benefits and the results of Reciprocity on United Canada.
-I gave you till today to hand it in; owing to this snow day, you have the time to answer the questions well. I will accept them tomorrow morning, before noon.
Should you want to get a jump on tomorrow's class:
-work on the handouts that pertain to the 1st and 2nd phases of the industrialisation period after Confederation (blue & purple sheets);
-read the textbook: 1st phase (pp. 190-199) and the 2nd phase (pp.200-205)
Group 08 (secondary 5):
-work on the handouts (blue and purple) that I gave to you in class last Friday pertaining to the 1st and 2nd phases of the industrialisation period after Confederation (blue & purple sheet);
-read the textbook: 1st phase (pp. 190-199) and the 2nd phase (pp.200-205)
Group 01 (Red):
-in the unlikely event that you brought home your textbook, read pp. 190-205. This will help you get ahead.
-start working on the handouts (blue, purple, that I gave to you last Friday).
Group 02 (Blue):
-your homework for today was to complete the work about the Reciprocity Treaty on the back of the pink booklet.
-If you come to see me tomorrow, I will give you the handouts that you would have rec'd this morning. If you are interested in "getting ahead" read the textbook, pp. 190-205.
Enjoy your day. Don't watch the soaps.
