To students of HI166 V (3-430PM) and G (430-6PM):
We will still have our First Long Test (LT1) on July 28, Thursday, class hour. The exam is composed of true/false questions, multiple choice questions, and an essay part. The coverage is from our discussion on history and historiography until the essays of M. Guerrero and G. A. May.
We've not discussed the Phil-Am War, but I trust you've read already Chapter 12 of Agoncillo, as well as Guerrero and May's essays. Better to review them again. While taking note of the basic points (i.e., Treaty of Paris, Benevolent Assimilation proclamation, rationale of annexation, Feb 4 1899 event, and other notable events), keep an eye out for themes which contribute to a more nuanced understanding of revolution, the republic, and the war. This could help you in your essay writing.
Also, we will use BLUEBOOK for this exam. So I expect you to bring one or two pieces on Thursday.
Thanks. Good luck studying. Take care and stay dry.
P.S. One minor correction on Agoncillo's discussion about Fil-Am hostilities: the February 4 event, which started the Phil-Am war, took place NOT in San Juan Bridge but in Santa Mesa, at the corner of Sociego and Silencio Streets. See link here.
