Final Preparation Day:

Spend the hour looking at / working on / strategizing about the DBQ. You must take notes!!!!!  You must annotate!!!

1)   Be strategic: You have today to prepare.  Then you will be able to take your notes (and only your notes) home. 

2)   Take notes from the DBQ:  You will take these notes home. Then work on or research from these notes. The DBQ itself must be turned in at the end of the period.  If you take the DBQ you will get a zero. You cannot take the DBQ home!!!

3)   Annotate your DBQ: Ensure you do not need to reread the documents during the final. (This will be graded – Rubric B).

4)   Write your name at the top of the DBQ and TURN IT IN: You will get it back on the day of the final.

5)   Final: Bring your notes with you from home to the final.  These will be graded and will demonstrate your ability on rubric B:

·       formulate and follow an action plan to investigate a research question

·       use research methods to collect and record appropriate, varied and relevant information

·       evaluate the process and results of the investigation.

6)   Notes in Final:  You cannot have an essay or an outline in your notes.  You can have research.  You can have a strategy. You should have bucketing. You can have outside research quotes and paraphrases. You can bring in research from your country project.  Notes can only be handwritten.

7)   You will be graded (Rubric B – 8pts) based on your notes on the day of the final.

8)   The rest of the final grade will be based on what you produce during the final from the DBQ and your notes. (24pts – Rubric A, C & D).  Ensure that you actually answer the question.

Please do not spend more than 2 hours at home preparing for this final.  Most of you should be spending about 1 hour on this at home. Just find a few “10s” that support the argument you think you are going to make – put that info into your notes.  Flesh out your strategy/argument. Bring all notes for this DBQ to the class for the final (remember this is not optional but actually a part of the final).

Therefore: 1 hour in class, 1 hour outside research to support argument, 2 hours putting it together during the final itself. You got this!!!

RESEARCH AT HOME: 

• • Find a couple "10s" to support whatever argument you think you prefer.

  • You will be required to cite them on the test in MLA format and in a Works Cited section.

  • You do not need to put the documents from the DBQ into the Works cited - only your outside sources. 

  • I need to SEE your thoughts and ideas on your notes tomorrow in class DURING the final. 

  • No research should be happening tomorrow. 

ON THE TEST

• • Cite things from the DBQ with (Doc A)
