WCIVII

WCIV Final Exam

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Our last exam will be given on Thursday. Remember, we only have 3rd and 4th period classes on Friday and the Finals for those classes.  The WCIV exam will NOT be cumulative.  It will only cover India.  It will be multiple choice.  Questions are taken from the text book sections we read, the film “The Story of India,” the article, “India Inc,” the NPR story we listened to and the film “Kundun.”
