=**Hello McGehee Freshmen!**=

This is the wiki for Modern World History at McGehee school. You will use this wiki for a variety of collaborative projects, chief among them creation of a comprehensive reference glossary of the **stuff to know** for the textbook and other readings, assignments, discussions and lectures.

First batch of Wiki glossary assignments: check to see if your name is listed below. If so, you owe me a definition! **E-mail it to me** (just type it in the body of the message - do not attach a Word document). Keep them fairly brief - a paragraph at most - but remember that part of the point is make connections between terms - so if you are discussing **John Locke** and not mentioning **natural rights**, **social contract** and **Enlightenment** (at least!) something is wrong ... And yes, it's ok - even encourage, even required - to use Stuff to Know from lectures and from previous units. Knowledge is cumulative. Think about the who, what, when, where, why and how. And include dates! Do not conduct additional research - just look back in your outline and notes.
