I won't see you until Tuesday, but here is the study guide for Friday's test. There are key terms and guiding questions, and if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, there's an outline of what the test is going to look like.
Re-read the chapter summaries for tomorrow, and start reading your outside reading book - first set of notecards is due on the 19th!
The first person to correctly answer the following trivia question will get a (yet to be determined) prize:

it was Rutherford B. Hayes
Herbert Hoover was the first US president to have a phone on his desk. Prior to 1929 US presidents had used a phone booth outside the office.
Incidentally, the first president to have a telephone installed in the White House was Rutherford B Hayes

In 1877, President Rutherford B. Hayes (1877-1881) spoke on the telephone to the instrument’s inventor, Alexander Graham Bell. Two years later, Hayes had his own telephone in the White House. But the invention was so new that very few homes or offices in Washington had phones, so Hayes had few people to talk to. In fact, the president’s telephone number was "1."
Dear Miss Shea,
I am glad that you listened to me and put on some random extra credit, but I am not happy that I am not the winner!!! Unless...there is a consolation prize or something nice since I provided so much extra information that shows the in depth research that took place on my computer. Could you at least mention my name to all your classes? That would be pleasing. Like, make me a certificate or something? That would be really cool!
See you tomorrow!
Mikayla
