Even though we didn't end up with a snow day on Tuesday, we've decided to make Essay 1 for this six weeks a take-home essay. This essay will be due by the end of the day on Friday, March 7 for ALL CLASSES. B-day students, if you would like to get the prompt early, you may come to my room (274) on Wednesday between classes or after school. Please don't come at lunch.
Also, your map quiz is still happening in class on Wednesday and Thursday, and the offer I made in class still applies - if you get a 100 on the map quiz, you will receive an extra point (on the 9-point grading scale) on your essay.

B-day calendar change
Due to my absence 6th period on Friday, the essay for Tuesday has been moved to Thursday. The calendar has been adjusted to reflect this change.
Official APUSH extension policy
It has come to my attention that many of you are unclear as to the policy for extensions on APUSH assignments. It is never my intent to stress or overload you with work for APUSH. As such, if you ever need an extension for an out-of-class assignment please ask me. I will do my very best to accommodate you, and I will very rarely say no to reasonable requests for extensions on assignments like terms lists or take-home essays (unless the end of the six weeks is approaching or some other grading deadline is imminent).
I thought I had clearly articulated this policy at the beginning of the year and subsequently, but apparently that was not the case. For the balance of the year, please feel free to ask me, via email or in person, if you ever need an extension on an assignment.
