Period 2 U.S. History for Thursday, October 15

We will be having our test on Monday the 19th.  Today in class we had a pre-assessment that covered topics from the entire school year.  The score won't count in your grade but if you participated in the assessment you will have earned 10 out of 10.  If you were absent today, you'll be excused from it.

Period 2 U.S. History for Tuesday, October 13 and Periods 1, 3, 5 for Wednesday, October 14

REMINDER:  There are some big things that will be impacting your grade in the coming days. 

• The Immigration, Industrialization, and Progressive Era Test is coming your way very soon.
• The "Bringing it All Together" essay is due on Thursday (even period classes) and Friday (odd period classes).
• The test review sheet is due on the day of the test as well.

Do well on these things and your grade will get a nice boost.  Slack off and do poorly, then your grade goes into the dumper.

Here's what we covered in class:

1. Tips from the Write Source books for writing your essay.
2. New vocabulary for our new unit on U.S. imperialism.  Copy from a classmate.
   
3. Assembled the Imperialism Spectrum chart that we'll be using in class next time.

2. Assigned an essay for this unit.  Also due the day of the test, typed.  This essay will follow all of the typical formatting of an essay for your English class:  hook, thesis statement, topic sentences, concluding paragraph, etc.
