Bring your research materials to class Monday. That will be the last day we work on it in class. Remember, it is due Fri., Dec. 4.
Tuesday
Graded the Civil War Test from Friday and checked Journal Entries #29 and 30.
Handed out the following parts of the research paper: Prompt, Outline, and Rubric.
Homework
Finalize researching your country. You will have time in class to work on it tomorrow; after that, you're on your own. The paper (with all parts) is due Dec. 4. See above for guidelines if you are typing your final draft (which will be much appreciated!).
Monday
If you were absent Friday, I need your Civil War Battles/Camp Life Chart.
We put Generals Lee and Grant on the hot seat at a town meeting-like interview, during which the audience members asked scripted questions.
Homework
Journal Entry #30 (our final one). Incorporate what you learned about Lee and Grant at the interview. We start the research essay in class tomorrow. Do some final info-seeking tonight...
