Now that we have finished Unit 1, let's put some of its information to some writing practice!
This week we are going to prep and write a full DBQ Essay. Remember, that all essays are considered major grades unless told otherwise. Since we are preparing all week together for it, this will be a major grade.
In order to make sure you have some extra help with your questions, we will have a Schoology Conference on Thursday night using the same time slots. This time, though, you will be able to choose which time you attend by joining the group corresponding. In order to make sure we are not overloading one slot over the others, please take the survey below so we can estimate numbers!
Now let's look at this week more in-depth:
Monday: Today's class period will cover the Rubric and skills required for a DBQ Essay, first. We'll start by discussing where this fits in the scheme of our AP Exam as a whole, and then start to look at the essay we'll be writing this week.
Tuesday: Today we are going to review methods for document analysis in order to use them for arguments in our DBQ Essay. The two skills in particular we'll practice with are Contextualization and Point-of-View.
Wednesday: There are TWO skills that are usually more tricky for students to complete for each document in a DBQ - contextualization and point-of-view. We're going to look at perfecting these before grouping our documents and beginning our outline.
Thursday: Now that the outline has been set, you will get a majority of the period to make sure it is finished to your liking. At the start of the period we will set our "15 Minute Reading Period". You will get your set of documents for 15 minutes to create your annotations and notes before writing on Friday - after the 15 minutes, you will turn this in and get it back on Friday as you write.
Friday: It's writing day! Come right in and grab lined paper from the front of the room and have a PEN - blue or black to write with! You will have the entire period to construct and complete your essay. It will be turned in at the end of the period. Comments are closed.
