The document provides an overview of a class that reviews reading strategies and Cornell note taking. It discusses the geography and climate of Britain, noting its mild but changeable climate from -10 to 32 degrees Celsius. Rainfall varies widely from 800mm to 1600mm depending on location. The key periods of British history are also outlined from pre-Norman times to post-World War 2. Students will work in groups to focus on two specific eras, take Cornell notes, and collectively build a timeline of important events.
