Hi all:

Be sure to arrive to class on Wednesday ready to present your mini-research on Andrew Jackson. Ensure that not only are you and your partner/s ready to speak for 10 minutes, but that you have the one-page hand-out to give to your peers.

If you get it to me earlier before class I can make photocopies for everyone.
