Some suggestions for your cube:

The Accomplishments side should have a bit more text than the profession side (which can be one or two words) or the Background side (which should include, at minimum, country of origin, dates of life, perhaps a university/education). The Answer to the "Why is this person revolutionary" needs to be in complete sentences.

Your cube should be no bigger than 3 or 4 inches (cubed).

Sorry I was absent today, guys. I am in now (4th period) and the after school study session is happening as planned. I apologize for the study guide you guys got in class today - I attached the wrong document for the sub to print off, when I meant to attach the REAL study guide. The one in class wasn't wrong, it just wasn't complete.

Keep studying for the finals, and we'll go over stuff tomorrow and after school.


[EDIT: 6:45pm]
Thank you to those of you who showed up for the review session - it showed me that you really are taking your studying and this final seriously, and I hope it was helpful. If you have questions, write them down and we can address them in our short-short classes tomorrow.

Happy studying!
