11/3/10

Today's agenda:

1)  Notes ("Aristocratic Republicanism and Slavery, 1780-1820").
2)  Finished last 2 War of 1812 Role Play presentations.
--If we have time, we will go over which positions the individual identities would have chosen.
--Stapled the 2 sheets together and handed in.
3)  Homework:  Textbook, pages 286-288; 290-293; 296 ("The Coming of Industry: Northeastern Manufacturing").

--I handed out another sample paper for the Research Paper Project.  This is from a student last year who did very well and used the bullet-point format in Part B of the paper.  Many students prefer this format because you are more likely to just "stick to the facts" when writing this way.  Remember that Part B is all cited material, nothing about your own thoughts and analysis yet--that comes later in the paper.  Every sentence in Part B needs to be cited, whether it is a direct quote or paraphrased, since it all comes from your sources and you do not want to plagiarize.
