Today's agenda:

1)  Notes ("The Road to War, 1771-75").
2)  Explain Analytic Research Paper Project.  This is the big project for 1st Semester.
--I handed out and explained the paper expectations, Sample Paper, and Topic List.  We will pick topics on Monday.
Due dates:  Working Bibliographies  Monday, October 25
Part A of the paper  Friday, November 19
Final Paper  Friday, December 17
Extra Credit for early papers:  (20 points)  Week of November 29-December 3
(10 points)  Week of December 6-December 10
--Spend a lot of time on this in order to do well.  Look for sources at a large library (Multnomah County Central, PSU, etc) early, take a while to become familiar with them, and follow the due dates on the above assignments to keep on schedule.  Read the Sample Paper regularly and use it as your model.  Please ask me for help as much as you need to.  Don't think you are bothering me too much.  I want you to do well!
3)  Homework:  Textbook, pages 166-170 ("Toward Independence, 1775-76").
