ATTENTION PERIOD 3: 

If you have been making up the FSA test, please be advised that you are still responsible for assignments submitted during your absence. 

In addition, please be ware of the following things:

HISTORY LAB 1 (the following are errors that I saw as I graded your first History Lab, in general):

1. Refrain from using the phrase "king of" to describe how a source answers an essential question. 

2. Refrain from using "I think" or "I believe" or "In my opinion" to answer the essential question in your thesis. 

3. If you are asked to re-write your thesis in your journal as a bell ringer, I am expecting to see the thesis TWO TIMES. Once in your History Lab and again in your journal. 

4. Some wrote the main idea in different words in the column where you're supposed to answer the essential question (the right side of the History Lab). Don't do that. That's what the left side is for. 

5. If you have any questions on how your History Lab was scored, please see me. (I used the rubric)

6. If we ever have a source that we never covered in class, feel free to look it up on google. For example: if we get a source titled "Missouri Compromise of 1820" then insert the name of the source in google search followed by "meaning." Feel free to use the internet in order to produce a solid response.
