Homework - Evaluating Sources
Remember that you need to complete the first three questions of the Evaluating Sources activity. Please remember to include which source is more trustworthy, why that source is more trustworthy, and also why the other source isn't as trustworthy as the one you chose.
Tomorrow we will finish #4 - #6 in class. We will then begin to look at motives for European exploration of the New World. You will learn the RACE acronym and how we will use it to answer historical questions.
Happy Tuesday!

Snapshot Autobiography - Homework Reminder
Greetings!
I just wanted to send out a quick reminder about your homework for the Snapshot Autobiography project. You are to write about four important events that have shaped you as a person. One of those stories will be the story of your birth. You may get some help on this one from your parents or other friends or family members that have details about your birth. The other three events are your choice, however you will be interviewing another person about one of these events, so make sure to pick at least one event that someone else knows about.
Do not interview someone else until you have written your story about that event. The homework tonight is to complete a rough draft version of as many of the four stories as possible. The final product (a 6-panel pamphlet of your life) is due on Friday, October 7. You will be given time in class over the next several days to complete this project, but you should also spend at least 20 minutes each night on this project.
As always the quality of your final product is extremely important.
Good luck!
