SAQ Test Date Change to March 9th

After further review of the SAQ Test, previously scheduled for Thursday, I have decided to move the due date on it to March 9th. One of the two questions is about WWII and we are just now starting WWI because of the one week delay with the weather. 

However, I want to emphasize the importance of the SAQ. It is going to be 5 of these SAQ questions that you will have to write on the online version of the AP Test this year. So we are really going to focus on them, even more than usual. 

So in the next week, after I review the last DBQ we wrote from Imperialism, I will be focusing some video lessons on improving SAQ writing.
