DBQ and Sample

As you prepare for your DBQ on Friday, please take the time to look at this practice DBQ on reform. A sample of a good response to that question is here.

Pay attention to the thesis statement, the incorporation of documents and outside infomraiton, and the synthesis (understanding of big picture, recognition of complexity) that is conveyed.

Remember, you have a test next Thursday!

The study guide is available now.

Essays and Rubrics

Your Unit 2 essays have been graded and are in PowerSchool. The rubric is available here. While we will have some time to discuss these in class, I would encourage you to also look over your essay with this rubric. Where did you gain points? Where could you improve?

See me if you have any questions!
