CONTINUE TO USE CALENDAR TO KEEP UP WITH HOMEWORK

Use the Assignment Calendar for Civil War Homework

Whatever is in boldface is due the next day.

WTW  = War, Terrible War (1 post it for every 3 pages read)
AJ = American Journey (answer questions indicated)
EW = Eyewitnesses (answer questions at the end of the section)

We will be watching a lot of film clips in class, as well as talking in small groups. The level of your discussion counts. You may have POP QUIZZES, so keep up with reading and review your written assignments, including what you have read in MUSH.

HW due Thu., 4/14

Use the new HW Calendar to track your assignments. There is no class on Wednesday due to filming. Note that there is a Life Awareness assignment NEXT WEEK (read articles and talk to parents -- get signature -- this averaged into hw/social studies grade).

Use the HW Calendar by looking at what is in boldface. That item will be due the next day. You have assignments in War, Terrible War (post its) and The American Journey (questions).

HW due Thu., 4/7

Keep on writin'.

You should be up to 1 1/2 pages of Chapter Three by now.

Please print and staple your revised and new writing to show to me in class.

Your rough writing should be finished on Monday, April 11. Any final editing, tweaking, adjustments, printing, changing, rearranging, etc., should be done by the next day, Tuesday (get the paper mostly done this weekend). You should therefore finish your research paper by next Tuesday, April 12. TURN IN TWO DOUBLE-SPACED COPIES. Please submit it to Google Docs as well. Details later. Any research papers not turned in by that date will be lowered by one letter grade for each day they are late.

BY FRIDAY, TURN IN BUDDY LETTERS.

HW due Wed., 4/6

Revise Ch. 2 based on revisions; revise Ch. 1 based on the revisions for Ch. 2 (that is, if you see any patterns that would suggest changes, make them).

Then, begin working on Ch. 3. Write the first page, at least the first couple of paragraphs.

DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR RESEARCH THESIS. It probably should be introduced at the transition point.

BUDDY LETTERS are due sometime this week.

HW due Fri., 3/18

FINISH CH.2 BY FRIDAY. NO DROP BOXES -- JUST HAND IT IN TO ME ON PAPER.

YOU ARE NOT EXPECTED TO DO ANY WORK ON THIS PROJECT DURING SPRING BREAK. Have a great vacation!

HW due Wed., 3/16

Write one more page of  Ch. 2. Attach whatever you've already written of Ch. 2 (try editing that, too) to it, and turn it all in by the end of the day on Wednesday. You may have class time on Wednesday to work QUIETLY on the laptops.

HW due Mon,, 3/14

Rewrite/revise Ch. 1, including adding quotes for all immigrants. For most of you, more information on Queens and better transitions and a conclusion. Include parenthetical references. Minimum 2 pages.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DROPPED CH. 3 NOTE CARDS

HW due Fri., 3/11

Write an introduction to Ch.2 (at least one long paragraph, but preferably 2 paragraphs). Use at least one parenthetical reference. It would be better to write enough so that you are trying out more than one parenthetical reference.

PLEASE BRING IN A PRINTED COPY OF THIS INTRO. SO YOU'LL HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU DURING CLASS.

NO DROP BOX FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT.

If you haven't done so already, make sure you "drop" Ch. 3 Notecards into the drop box so you can get feedback and credit for your work.

SORRY I DID NOT DO THE BLOG YESTERDAY.
Due by the end of the day: Buddy letter (s). Some of you asked to email them. This is fine, as long as you give me a printed copy in the morning.

Hw due Wed., 3/9

.40 or more are due for Ch.3,. You may continue taking notes, however.

Finished notes =

1. 20 for Ch. 2 and 40 for Ch. 3
2. Enough research to cover the topics in outline and the assignment sheet
3. Information on your research thesis
4. Primary source quotes
