This is the ONE and ONLY homework post for this week, because we are doing ONE and ONLY one thing all week - working on our essays!
Your essay MUST be SUBMITTED through Google Classroom by the end of class on Thursday. Even if it is not complete, you must submit it so I can grade what you have done.
- Any essays not finished AND submitted by that time will be recorded as "X" for all three summative grades.
- You can submit your essay after that, but I will grade your essay last and you will NOT be eligible to revise your work.
- Your essay must be typed and must be submitted by Google Classroom.
Reminders:
MLA format means:
- Header at upper left - your name, my name, US History per XX, date
- Double spaced
- 1" margins
- 12 point font (Arial, Times New Roman, Cambria, other simple fonts, black and white only)
You do not need a Works Cited. I will post instructions on parenthetical citations tomorrow.
HOMEWORK: Please see the suggested timeline below:
Monday - Draft topic sentences, complete paragraph organizers (if needed) or begin body paragraphs.
Tuesday - If you did paragraph organizers, begin writing your paragraphs. If you began drafting body paragraphs, finish the three body paragraphs.
Wednesday - FIELD TRIP - review body paragraphs. Make sure each one has at least ONE reference to a piece of evidence and/or a specific quote, and detailed facts.
Thursday - draft conclusion paragraph, review spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and formatting. Check citations for correct format. Submit!
RESOURCES: If you still don't understand the link between taxes and the rebellion, here is an article that will explain it to you more clearly.
If you want some help structuring your paragraphs, here is a graphic organizer that will make sure you have all the pieces you need. Be sure to make a copy for yourself so you can type into it!
If you are referencing the French and Indian War in your essay, here is a copy of the article you read earlier this quarter about that war. If you are not sure what the Proclamation of 1763 did, here is a short explanation.
