We finished viewing the 1865-1885 episode of History Channel's "The Presidents." We then began the end-of-unit writing to answer the essential question. As always, start by making a list of possible themes based on a careful read through all of your many E.Q. notes; then, combine those themes to reduce the list to no more than 4 items without losing ideas. See me to talk through how to do the combining if you get stuck. ;) Then, go back through your EQ notes and color-code them to match with the themes. If time remains, go back to your old writings to look at the feedback and/or look at your "Writing Notes to Self" and read over the writing rubric.
