The grind doesn't take days off (actually it's about to take 5)

11/22/2017

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.

Primary Source Discussion/Essay Work

11/14/2017

0 Comments

 
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.
