Dear
students, parents, and other interested persons,
I hope that this section will prove valuable
in that you will be able to better prepare for classes and that you will be less
confused in preparing for exams and tests. The page numbers here come from
your prescribed text, Walsh's seminal Modern World History (2nd Ed.).
This page also contains some of my class explanations, additional materials, and
past papers.
However, please remember that the material
provided here is merely a plan and, while every effort is being made to adhere
to it, it must necessarily be subject to change as we struggle our way through
the educational gauntlet. So, the final authority on material required for
the exams comes from the official school Exam Revision List.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Kerr
