For tonight you should start reading Chapter 18, which really should be titled "Nomads' Last Stand" as this is the last time in history that nomads/hunter-gatherers will have any influence on global events.
Tomorrow we will start the Mongol Trial, break you into groups and watch a quick video before breaking up into teams and starting the process of research. You will be graded on the project, each as individuals based on your performance in the trial, and the score guide is linked here.
Changes in the course in the second half include:
1) Re-writes on essays will only be available for scores of 3 or lower. (and if you deliberately throw the essay, i.e.: I know you can write better, you run the risk of me not allowing the re-write at all...)
2) you may no longer write "Thesis:" at the start of the essay.
3) Tests will begin to incorporate questions from earlier in the year (not many, and ones you have seen before) as a way to help build in review.
4) The exam is May 17th. If you don't take the exam (and why wouldn't you after taking the course?) you have to take a final exam...and you don't want to do that...
