World History

Argumentative (E.Q.) writing is due today -- highlighted hard copy with score sheet; score yourself on the score sheet in pencil.  It also needs to be submitted electronically (without highlighting) to turnitin.com for the originality check.  The metacognitive writing is due Monday.  Chart your research score on your Skills Tracking page.  NOTE: you can correct, clarify, and add to your research and resubmit it to improve your score if needed/desired.  Students self-assessed their performance on each bullet-point item for each of the six skills, again as a further focus on continually improving performances.  Folder clean-out!  Sort all of your many papers from this unit into these categories: UCWPs, Claim/Evidence, Context/Lens, Research (instructions and score sheets), Writing, Socratic.  You also have a "basic class stuff" pile, but there's nothing new to add to it.  On a 1/2-sheet of paper students listed the historical errors they could find on the Minions timeline poster in the classroom -- grand prizes to be awarded on Monday.
