More Writing Practice
Want to really make sure you understand what we are looking for in the DBQ?
Print or open this response to the same Jackson DBQ that you wrote. It is an average response. Try to underline the thesis, and then find examples of synthesis and context. This can all be found in the first paragraph. Then read through the additional paragraphs. Look for examples of documents AND document-specific analysis as well as outside information. You might find it helpful to get a bunch of different highlighters and mark it all up.
Then compare your work to my key. Are you seeing the same things that we are when we grade?
Good luck with it! I hope you find this helpful.

Unit 4 Test
A reminder that your Unit 4 test will be on Wednesday 11/12. It will consist of multiple choice and a free response question.
Remember to use the study guide, the quizzes (12, 14, & 15) here, and to review your notes. Think about the big idea of this unit (expansion => increased tensions over slavery) and the evidence you would give to support that idea.
I will be available after 3:15 on Monday for help reviewing. If you would like to use my room prior to that for study as a group, you may do so.
Finally, a Duke student has approached me about a study she is doing on Standard vs. Honors vs. AP classes. It would be very much appreciated if you would take the time to fill it out:
