Lecture Notes (#16): 10/8-10/9

Here is the power point for the notes we took in class on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.  The lecture covered the early events/battles of the American Revolution, including the Declaration of Independence.

Friendly Reminder

Remember to print off a copy of your grade report for A.P. United State History, and get it signed by a parent.  It is due tomorrow (Friday)--if it's brought back tomorrow, you earn 5 points extra credit.
