Today we took our early India quiz. We also turned in the following:

-Early India homework packet (cover sheet) Do NOT turn in the independence reading.
-Research notes from presentation. Since many groups failed to follow instructions, your group needs to submit one of the following options to Mrs. Santos:
           1. shared document that your group gathered notes in before creating your ppt.
           2. handwritten or electronic individual notes
           3. Sharing full editing privileges to your google slides with Mrs. Santos (this allows me to see past versions and see your process throughout preparation)
           4. If you have none of the above (meaning you emailed me a pdf, onedrive, or microsoft ppt) someone in your group needs to write me a note detailing your creation process. How each person contributed, what each member worked on, and how the final edits were made (reducing slide content, highlighting important information, pictures, font/color clarity, etc).
-Group Participation Grade (see Mrs. Santos for rubric)

Today students finished work on their India presentations.

Students also received their research papers back today. Students have to option to do essay revisions to earn some points back on their papers if they choose. These will be due no later than June 10th. The process is listed below and must be followed to earn credit. Revisions will not be grade if the reflection piece is not completed.

Directions for essay revisions

11. Have you checked the comments on your paper and rubric? No?  You cannot revise until you do so. Yes? You are able to revise.

22. Choose the rubric categories you most want to improve: Thesis, Evidence, Analysis, Organization, Language.

*3. For each category you want to improve, write a brief paragraph answering: What did you do well in that category?What do you need to improve? How are you going to improve?

44. Next: pick one or two sections where you struggled, and revise that. For example, say one paragraph lacked analysis, rewrite that paragraph with better analysis. Or, if you need to improve quote integration, pick a paragraph to rewrite quote integration. You may do this for more than one rubric category. If you lost points because you did not have a Works Cited Page, you can also turn that in to increase the MLA score.

55. If you are not sure why you got a score on a rubric section, read the rubric descriptors or talk to Santos.

66.This will be due June 10^th. You will email or bring in a printed copy and give it to Santos. You must also attach the rubric from your original paper. I cannot add points to the category if I don't know the breakdown.

77. The overall point of this is to see that you know where you are struggling, and practice/improve by rewriting. You should not be rewriting the ENTIRE essay though
