U.S. History

See me or a reliable classmate to check and edit your thesis for Crash Course #26.  As a class we did a big-picture pull-back on our course skills...Review the sample winter paragraph in the Writing Cheats section of Google classroom, consider this reminder that your writing for History and the Claim & Evidence work are mirror images of each other (intro and conclusion is where the thesis should be).  The Civil War Era writing was returned and time given for looking over the feedback and asking questions.  Students then did a new self-evaluation on the same packet used in the fall, but in a different color pen or pencil.  As an historic figure case study that connects to several of the key themes of the era, read the NYT obituary for Jane Addams and take EQ notes (and add to CQ page as relevant -- to be finished in class tomorrow.
