October 13


I continued going through the Paper 3 Advice for the Civil War and Reconstruction Period PowerPoint presentation. Please challenge yourself and do the remaining activities in the presentation. Wherever it asks you to pick a question and take 5 minutes to write an outline for that style of question, give it a try. Make sure that you have read Chapters 11-13 in The United States and Its People. Please check the IB 30/35 wiki (under United States Civil War) for the study guide. On Thursday, the test will consist of multiple choice questions, a matching section, and a document analysis. On Friday, you'll write a Paper 3 on the Civil War and Reconstruction Period. Use these codes to check out previous IB Diploma Exam questions on the Civil War era:
