Happy May Day, everyone! In England, we would have stayed up all night to welcome in the beginning of spring and hung May baskets on the doors of people we liked. Well, I didn't see any posies on my door this morning, so I guess I know where I stand with all of you...but then again, I kind of deserve it, since today I assigned YOUR GREAT BIG CAUSES OF THE CIVIL WAR ESSAY!!!!!!!!!! Yup, here it is - the summative you've all been waiting for (or not)!
In class, we walked through a truckload of handouts and information about this essay. I will try to give you the quick recap here, along with links to the documents.
1) Here is the essay prompt. Choose the prompt that aligns with the level of World History course you are taking next year.
2) Here is the essay rubric. Please feel free to check in with me about any elements you do not understand. You have been graded on all these standards at least once already this year, so you will use this essay to show me what you have learned!
3) Here is a timeline of events. We've talked about a lot of events and how they led to the increasing tension between the pro- and anti-slavery forces in the US. This will help you put them in time order.
4) Here are the answers to the "rigor packet". If you did not get a chance to correct your packet in class, make sure you look these over.
5) Here is the CP/Honors homework. It is due WEDS for per 1, 2, 5 and THURS for per 6 & 7.
6) Here is the Academic level homework. Same due date as above.
7) Here is the "DIY" option contract. Please be sure to get this signed and turned in on Thursday if you want to pursue this option!!!
