Hi everyone,
Our study of the Civil War is now underway! Periods 1, 2, and 5 began reviewing the first major battles of the war yesterday. Per 6 and 7 will begin that today. Then, you are completing a formative assessment assignment showing me what you understand.
Work on your essays is continuing as well. I am checking and returning your topic sentence planners to make sure you have accurate statements based on evidence.
HOMEWORK: You need to draft a thesis statement to submit tomorrow for me to check and approve over the weekend.
If you did not complete the homework assignment to generate your topic sentences, you still need to try to write a thesis statement. I have attached a handout that includes sample thesis statements for historical essays. You can use this as a guide. Be sure to have your prompt handy so you can use it for ideas!
PERIODS 6 AND 7 - you may wait until this weekend to do the homework, when you have your handout on your topic sentences back.
