What you need to do for the essay:
By now, you should have an approved thesis, and should have drafted some topic sentences. If you haven't, you need to get caught up! The last step before you start writing the essay is to gather your evidence. I have a handout for you to do that. Once you have all three of those prewriting steps done, you can start drafting the essay.
Your essay MUST be formatted in MLA style. It is also best if you submit it through Google Docs, although you can print it and submit it if you want. If you'd like help making sure you've set up your document correctly, watch this video and Mr. Stowell will show you how to get it done right the first time!!!
What you need to do for the test:
Review the list of topics you were given in class. If you can't find it, here it is again. I will make some Quizlets to help you study, and I also have set up some video clips with questions to help you review. In order to get to these video quizzes, you have to sign up ACCORDING TO WHICH PERIOD YOU HAVE US HISTORY.

These video clips count in the Formative Assessment category, so you will want to make sure to get them done by FRIDAY of this week.
HOMEWORK: Your homework this week is the same all week. You need to continue working on your essay and start studying for your test. You may want to do all your work on the essay in class, and then study outside class for the test. Or you may want to work on the essay straight through, and then prepare for the test. If you work diligently in class, and work for 20 minutes to half an hour a day outside class (in study hall, team time, or for homework), you should be able to complete preparing for both of these important tasks!
