Today in Class: Period 4 Multiple Choice and Short-Answer Questions
 
Posted below are some review materials that you should look over prior to writing your essays on Friday. I summarized everything you need to know regarding the expectations and structure of both essays. When you sit down to write on Friday, take the time to plan and analyze the documents. If you jump right in to the writing, you will likely not do as well on your essays.
 
Remember the activities you did in class last week where you analyzed student writing. What do you need to do to step up your own writing? Especially with the LEQ, this is where your content-knowledge is really showcased. You need to make sure you are using specific historical evidence.
 
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions. I miss you all and hope to be back soon!
