due Thursday 5/30
The final draft of your research paper is due at the start of class on Thursday 5/30. Please remember that it needs to be a full five pages (to the end of the fifth page or longer) and that you need to include a final works cited page with your final draft.
Also due Thursday 5/30: notes on pages 371-388 in Brinkley (you may skip the colored sections on where historians disagree and baseball in the Civil War).
A few things I noticed while I was checking your rough drafts that need to be fixed for the final draft:
-Titles should be in standard font - no bold, underlines, or italics (unless you're including the name of an artistic work or part of a quotation)
-Write in past tense - this is history, so it has already happened. If you have a quote in present tense, that's fine - quote it as is.
-AVOID using I, me, you, we - this is a formal essay, and that's the rule of thumb.

upcoming due dates
Upcoming due dates:
Test on chapter 13 (the impending crisis - westward migration and the crisis of the 1850's) next Thursday May 16th. Here are some review questions.

There is no late credit for the rough draft, so please be sure to have it printed and ready to go at the start of class.

Finally, here's the piece of The Story of US (the end of the episode called "Westward") and here's a link to the last 15 minutes of the episode called "Divison" (topic covered include the Fugitive Slave Law, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Bleeding Kansas, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, and Lincoln's election)
