After a lovely 3 hour stretch working in D-9, all of the Long Essays are graded and in eSchool.  You will have the option to complete some revisions next week but you need to obviously balance that with getting ready for your exams (which ultimately is more important).  I've posted the Chapter 15 Guided Reading and Exam Review in case you need it.

Rest and recharge over break but don't ignore the fact that you should be doing some review for exams, especially this coming weekend.  Have a great break, unless you have a history emergency, I don't plan on communicating with you until Monday. :)  See you then.

Today's class started with a discussion of three primary sources that were read in class.  The discussion questions are included below.  The rest of the time was spent on preparations for tomorrow's Long Essay

Tomorrow, both the Chapter 14 and 15 Guided Readings will be handed out.  Chapter 14 will be due on Monday, Chapter 15 is due the day back after Thanksgiving Break.  You will have class on Thursday to work on Chapter 14, be sure to bring your books.

This gives you the option if you want to really push it over the next five days, you could get this done before break and then your school work over break can be focused on preparing for exams.  However, you would have the option to get Chapter 15 done over the five day break.  

Today's class started with a brief lecture on the Age of Jackson, the PowerPoint is included below.  We then watched the presidents video on Andrew Jackson.  The class finished with work for next Wednesday's Long Essay. 

Pages due by Monday are 248-264.

Today in class students worked in groups analyzing documents on a DBQ that addresses the years 1815-1824 and whether this time period should be called "The Era of Good Feelings."  Emphasis was placed on POV, purpose and historical situation.  Students wrote examples on the board of these example of sourcing.  

Tomorrow, we'll get into the Age of Jackson.  See you then.

Today's class started by looking over what went right and what went wrong with The American Revolution DBQ.  Office hours on Thursday are for students getting extra help and feedback to make revisions.

We then went over the stimulus based multiple choice test and finished by discussing the Thomas Jefferson article.

Remember I will be gone tomorrow for the NHS Application meeting. BRING YOUR TEXTBOOKS. Chapter 12 needs to be done by Wednesday.  See you then.

​

Students spent the period working on today's test.  Remember that the article questions are due on Monday.  The Chapter 12 guided reading was also available today.  A copy is included below.  Have a great three day weekend!

Today in class we discussed the past part of Chapter 11 and then had a quick notebook check.  Students the took 10 practice stimulus based multiple choice questions in preparation for tomorrow's test.  We then reviewed periods 1-3, the file is included below.
