Social 20-1

You handed in your Unit 2 Research Projects today. If you did a Prezi, you must e-mail me the link to your Prezi, please send it to my CBE e-mail account. We split into groups of 3-4 people to do a peer edit of the 1st paragraph assignment that I gave you on Friday. You should have had 2 people read and edit your paragraph and offer you some constructive criticism. I will be reading these paragraphs over tonight and doing the same thing. Hopefully, I'll be able to give them back to you tomorrow. I will be giving you your Unit 2 Essay Question Sheets tomorrow, and I will offer some advice and warnings about both text-based sources that you will be facing (Period 3 and Period 4 students will not be writing on the same source). Your Unit 2 WRA II (Essay) is on Thursday. Your Unit 2 Final Exam is on Monday, December 6th, please see the study guide here.
