Homework Survey

Here is the link to the LASA homework survey.  Though I know it goes against your core beliefs, please take this survey seriously and try not to troll.  The administration is going to try to use this information to advise students about course loads in the future, and your honest assessment of the homework load in your classes will help that process.

Instructions for DBQ prep assignment

Students -

On Thursday, you will have a prep assignment for your DBQ on Friday.  Please make sure you have a documents packet and the DBQ prep packet.  The documents packet is a class set - please don't write on them and make sure to turn them in at the end of class.  The documents you see on Friday will not be identical to this packet, but they will be very, very similar and will cover the same time period and themes.  And, of course, on Friday you will have an actual essay prompt to go with them.

Your assignment for Thursday is to complete the requested information for each of the documents in the packet, to compose a possible essay prompt that fits these documents, and then to compose a thesis that addresses your proposed essay prompt.  You can work together in small groups (2-3 students), and you are allowed to use resources at your disposal, including class notes, terms, outlines and technology.  Your completed packet will be due before you sit your essay on Friday in class.

This assignment requires a little detective work and analytical thought on your part.  Think about how these documents fit together, and how you might group them (like in WHAP or Euro) if you were required to do so.  From there, think about how you would fit those themes together into a coherent essay topic.

I will be available via email at historytime@gmail.com during the day if you have questions about the assignment.  I will try to respond to emails quickly during the school day.
