Class News for Week of February 23

Hey gang. Well, we have finished our study of Canada but still have our videos to complete. We will hopefully be editing some footage as well as viewing everyone's attempt to make a solid sell of their province.
While we are doing this, we will begin previewing our next chapter of study - MEXICO!! Be ready to keep our workrate high.

Any questions, let me know.

p.s. Your Canada Exams will take a bit to grade. Think about trying to grade about 160 exams that have about 60 questions. YUCK!
