Due dates for 5/31-6/9 and final project guidelines

Due Wednesday 5/31:  preliminary thesis and outline
Due Friday 6/2:  submit 3-5 internal/parenthetical citations you plan to use in the paper.  Include the full source information for each citation.  This step will count for 10 points, not the 20 indicated on the assignment sheet.
Due Tuesday 6/6:  first draft - peer editing in class - please be sure to bring a *printed copy* to class
Due Friday 6/9:  final draft  (you may want to try this method of targeted editing before completing your final draft)

If you missed the Old Hall work on Tuesday 5/30, here is the reading (read p. 338-56) and the organizer.

Here are the general guidelines for the final project.  More specific guidelines are below:
- Please remember that you need to create a product.  Be prepared to share your creation with the class during the scheduled final exam period.
-The final product will be your choice:  you may choose one of the options from the list, or come up with your own!
- You may work with a partner (from either my A or C block classes) or on your own.
- To show your understanding of the scope of U.S. history you learned this year, you will need to trace the theme by demonstrating how it manifested itself in 5-10 historical eras or events within the timeframe of the course (pre-Columbian America through the end of Reconstruction).  Since you did not have a project or test on the Civil War and Reconstruction, be sure to represent this period in your project.  Beyond that specific requirement, be sure that the other periods you select are varied (e.g. don't use four different examples from the Age of Jackson).
- You will have three periods of class time to work on this next week (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (long block) for A block; part of Tuesday's long block, Thursday, Friday and the following Monday for C block)
- If you can bring a device (laptop or tablet) to work with next week, please do so.
