Jefferson notes, Chapter 11 Discussion, Periods 1/2, Khan Academy

10/30/2018

0 Comments

 
Today we quickly finished the Thomas Jefferson notes started last week and students had the opportunity to ask questions about Chapter 11.  I then handed out a condensed version of the College Board topic outline for Periods 1 and 2 as a study tool for Thursday's test.  Students then had the last 20-30 minutes to explore the AP U.S. History section of Khan Academy as a potential resources.

Remember that Chapter 11 needs to be done by tomorrow and there will be a notebook check.  I'll have a hand out for Period 3 tomorrow and we'll do another 10 practice Stimulus Based Multiple Choice questions.

Today we rolled up our mental sleeves and dove in on the different components of writing DBQ essays.  Hopefully students have a good start on this journey.  We will be working on it all year.  I've included the document that I made today.  It evolved throughout the three periods.  At the end, I put together the components of the initial point of analysis, using the document as evidence, and sourcing.
