Advanced Higher - American Civil War Guide 3

Here is Jim McGonagle's Guide 3 that you are currently using. It comes as a powerpoint but constructed for printing, i.e. unreadable as a powepoint but perfect when printed out. One page (12) can be collected from myself.

Snow closure advice S4-S6

Well I don't know what the weather has been like for you over the last couple of days, but I am at home with 3 feet of snow and drifts up to 4 feet. In between power cuts and keeping access to my house and car clear I have been trying to put together some podcasts but with little success so far. I will try again today.

Best advice for S4-S6 classes is to get on with course work, Extended Essays/Dissertations and past papers. Please e-mail me first drafts if you have them. S4 pupils must get Free at Last completed very soon so do your best.

I'm off to clear the snow off my roof!
