Honors: HD Revised Essay

IF I gave back your revised essay, please do the revisions suggested and highlight the changes on your revised essay.

If you gave me your revised essay today, I will look at this weekend and hand it back into you on Monday. Your homework will then be to revise it and hand it back in on Wednesday, please highlight the changes/revisions.

Periods 2, 4 & 6: Portfolio: Unit 6 - Early American Government (the booklet with Washington's face) needs to be signed by a parent and returned on Monday.

If you have any questions or discrepancies in your grade, please feel free to contact me and I'll do my best to respond in a timely matter.

Honors - History Day Revised Essay & Reminders

Thank you to all who have turned in their revised essays and actually revised them.
To those who just turned in a reprint of your first rough draft, please try again and please take note of the comments on the papers you turned in originally and do the revisions suggested.
If you still haven't turned in an essay, step to it. 

Please double check your spelling and grammar. Please redo your in-text citations in MLA format.

For example, if the following quote was taken from a book I wrote, "I would simply put the author's last name of the source I got the quote from into parentheses as well as the page number." (Yuen 7)

If you are still unsure of how to cite your source, there are resources in your History Day folder. If you would like further help, please feel free to come see me to make an appointment to receive assistance on your History Day paper.

If you still haven't turned anything in, I suggest you come in to see me as soon as possible so you can get the help you need to bring your grade up. (History Day assignments are worth more than chapter notes or classwork so if you really need to bring your grade up from an F to a C, I suggest spending time on History Day assignments that you still need to turn in.) 

Please let me know if you have any questions whatsoever. Click above on the "Contact" tab for contact information :)

Periods 2, 4, & 6 - HD Topic Due TODAY, Sept 11th

Topics were due today. 

I checked on you during class to make sure you had your topic. IF you were absent, you need to email me or comment below with your topic.

Again, you need to try to narrow your topic. Find a specific event to focus on. Civil rights is great, but it's too broad. Find an event you can focus on, what are the rights of that event? What were the responsibilities?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Honors - Library MWTH

Periods 2, 4 & 6 - We'll be in the library on Monday, September 9th, Wednesday, September 11th and Thursday, September 12th to continue research for History Day. 

If I see that not everyone needs to use the library on Mon and Wed, then we'll come back to class on Thursday. 
In other words, make use of your time in the library to help you with your research. 
Otherwise there's not point in going to the library. 

!Reminders!

Topic is due on Wednesday, September 11th.

20 secondary notes/facts are due on Thursday, September 12th
