I liked having all the week's homework up on the blog for Monday so that people could plan their week, so I'm going to continue this as much as I can through the end of the year (and that is coming up fast!). Please understand that things change and I have to be flexible, so if something needs to be shifted or reconfigured, look HERE to make sure you know what to do.
HOMEWORK
MONDAY - due on TUESDAY
Develop a thesis statement for your essay, based on the level of essay that you are choosing to complete. Write it out COMPLETELY and in FULL SENTENCES on a separate sheet of paper to turn in tomorrow. Use the prompt to help you create the thesis!
AC: Your thesis should identify the three specific events you are exploring
CP: Your thesis should refer to broader, underlying issues (economic, political, social)
Honors: Your thesis should introduce the theme you are tracing throughout the essay
Three Models of Thesis Statements/Intro Paragraphs
TUESDAY - due on THURSDAY
- Draft a topic sentence for each body paragraph. Be sure your topic sentences reflect the thesis! You can submit this on a Google Doc or on paper.
THURSDAY - due Friday or Monday, your choice
- Identify TWO pieces of evidence from the DBQ (or outside sources) you could use in each body paragraph. You might need to look back at the original packet to get specifics. I will have a handout to help you with this.
VERY IMPORTANT - Many of you are at the point where you do not need to be led through the essay process, or the way I structure the essay is not the way you do it for yourself. Please listen in class, as I will be offering an option for those of you who wish to work more independently.
