"Romanticism and Realism Arts Festival" - Welcome. Today, we'll take some time to consider some of the new movements in the arts that we've been reading about.
I was going to change the order a little, but I suppose we'll stick with this. It's the way they appear in the readings, so that might be helpful to you in terms of review, etc. Figure that no one should take more than five minutes for their presentation.

You are done with the reading for Unit #5. Congratulations.
Remember that your Current Events are due on Friday, but I'm taking them through class time on Wednesday with no penalty. You can either email them as an attachment or print them out. You can download a template on Lesson #15. There's more information on that lesson, and you can find an explanation of the world history themes on this page.
Your part of the Unit #5 Two-Minute Review should be ready to go for Friday.
We'll have the Unit #5 Exam on Monday and Tuesday. Monday will be the Objective Exam. That will consist of multiple choice questions and some document-based questions.
