Dear Students,
Thanks to Theresa. She found a website that you can test your geography knowledge after you study Europe map. Here's the link. If you have time after your study, maybe you can have fun and review the map of Europe. Again, please don't spend too much time on the internet. It's not good for your eyes and your brain. ^^
The Europe Test
Have a nice day!

Note for you
Dear students,
Because I need time to upload everything and
I don't want you to spend a lot of time checking my blogger over and over again,
Please go back here after 19:00 today. You will see more information I
provide for you then.
Just as what I said, it will be very enough
if you paid attention to the class and took notes in the past few weeks.
If you would like to start studying CSS, you should start with your
notebook. The following topics will be covered in the test.
(1)
Scientific Revolution
(2)
Industrial Revolution
(3)
World map: 7 Continents and 3 Oceans
(4)
Europe map: all the countries and seas that I've introduced, including all
the peninsulas
(5) The video you watched in the class. (About Industrial revolution)
Moreover, except for memorizing
everything you got from the classes, you should think more and deeper about
those topics. I've asked many questions in the classes, please think
about them as well.
Don't worry about the midterm. It
won't be too difficult as long as you were always there with me in the class.
^^
Good lucks!

Video about Industrial revolution
The following videos from Youtube are about Industrial revolution. They provide more information than the textbook. I believe that you can learn more truth from the videos.
The first video is the one I showed you in the class. It is an overview of industrial revolution. It mentioned a lot of important concepts about industrial revolution. Please watch it carefully and take note if you missed some part of it while you were having my class.
All the copyright of the videos belongs to it owner. Please don't make any copy of these videos. Thank you!
