There are a LOT of things I need you to think about as you progress toward your final draft of your papers due this Friday. I've read every person's paper over the last 2 weeks and I need to make sure the following things are clear as you complete your final revisions and submit one of your two major assessments from your first learning target of 11th grade.
- You must use and cite appropriate sources.
- This should include primary and secondary sources
- This should not includes sources such as wikipedia, wordpress, history,com, answers.com, etc.
- Your paper should have an abundance of citations, wherever you are using someone else's ideas or summaries of events
- Quotations OR paraphrases MUST be cited, or you risk plaigiarism
- If you are in breach the school's code of academic integrity, you risk receiving 0s on your report card for habits of work. DO NOT SUBMIT SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK AS YOUR OWN -- THIS IS A HUGE ACADEMIC NO-NO AND WHEN YOU'RE IN COLLEGE YOU CAN GET KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL FOR IT
- There are a lot of words I consistently had to correct the capitalization of...
- Civil War
- Reconstruction
- the North
- the South
- Southerners
- Northerners
- Union
- Confederacy
- Congress
- President
- laws such as 13th Amendment or Jim Crow Laws or Black Codes
- Republican
- Democrat
