This is currently unavailable for download to your home as the file size is too big.  You may make it up at the computer in my room for about 60 minutes after school.  Or pick-up a CD from me and do it at home.  However, the file uses Quicktime to show 20 years of geographic changes from the Revolution to the 1820's, along with questions you have to answer.  You would need to have or install Quicktime on your Mac or PC to do this at home.  Quicktime is a free download.
