HW due Monday, 11/10

Nothing is due Friday, 11/7. Work on your outlines due Monday.

Monday, turn in a typed outline entitled "The Spread of Islam." Include enough information to represent the reading you've done. Use my handouts to help you. Show you know the proper outline format.

Include the information from your Sunni/Shi'ia web map/semantic map notes. You probably would want to put it early in the chronological order of the spread of Islam, or as a separate category about religious differences. There are many different ways to organize your ideas in this outline.

And yes, you will have a quiz on Monday on Islam, and also a bit on the election and the electoral college. Here is review material:
