Today we finished our discussion on suffrage and disenfranchisement (see below).

Suffrage

We also went over outlining and Body Thesis Statement instruction. Powerpoints and an outline template can be found below.

Outlining (additional resources can be found in the Writing Resources page in the sidebar)

Body Thesis Statements This has been updated to reflect our class discussion of not needing a full so what for your BTS.

Outlining Template


Remember when finishing up your OPCVL Source Analysis, this is NOT something that should take more than about an hour, even with more than 6 sources. Do the simplest version. Briefly tell me where it's from/author, why it was written, and what information you gained. Then tell me why it's a legitimate source and why that information was important for your paper. (Value) Then tell me what you couldn't get from it and what bias is included (Limitations). KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Civics Paper: Tonight students should finalize their OPCVL Source Analysis. If finished, students can work on organizing their notecards to match the how and/or so what of their thesis statement in preparation for outline writing.
Due Friday Oct 26th : Source Analysis

Due Friday Oct 26th : Thesis Revision #2 (I will also accept this on Monday if students are still working through it.)
