HWC Day 42 - Europe Wrap-Up, Mid-Term Review, & FCP

Objectives: Examine contemporary social, political, and economic issues in Europe.  Review key concepts for the midterm exam.  Create a multimedia video that communicates with a general audience a theme from the FCP.

Tasks:  Welcome back!  I hope that you've all recovered from last week's storm.  Now its time to jump back into our studies.  We'll begin today's class with a wrap-up of our Europe unit.  Then, I'll address any questions that you may have about the mid-term exam.  Finally, we'll spend the remainder of class discussing the FCP wiki & video creation.  For detailed instructions about the video, see the previous blog post (http://around-the-world-in-80-blocks.blogspot.com/2012/11/hwc-fcp-video-creation.html).
