Homework for December 2nd
1. Begin studying for your test. Remember, you cannot use notes on the multiple-choice test. Also, remember that you must prepare for both of the essay questions because you will not know which essay you will have to write until Tuesday.
2. Post ONE concept/event/date/sequence of events/document that you think people should study for the test. Your idea must be different than all of the other posts. To post, hit the comment button below this entry. I will keep track of who posts and who does not. An example of a good entry would be:
"Bantustans - These were the reserves of land given to Africans under Apartheid. The South African government made all Africans citizens of Bantustans. This meant that Africans weren't citizens of South Africa and were easily excluded from South African politics. The Bantustans also consisted of very poor land."
