For the Seniors (and others looking at colleges)

My cousin just sent me this site (he's using it to do college research) and thought I should pass it on to you all...

UNIGO

It's a website that is college-student reviews of their own colleges, with pictures and video and candid statements about the school.

Good luck with all those applications!

Greetings from Maine!

Happy Summer!

I know school is just around the corner, and sophomores are now juniors, and juniors are now seniors and prepping for college applications - for those of you I owe letters of rec to (I haven't forgotten!), below is my new contact information. Mail me your packets in September and, of course, email me if you have any questions (or have forgotten what to put in your packet).

I hope you have had lovely summers and have a great start to school!

~ Ms. Shea

(at Niagara Falls)

It's been grand...

Well, this is it! Summer has arrived!

I want to thank you guys for giving me a great year at Issaquah, and I really am sad I'm leaving. I will miss all of you (well, most of you.... kidding). I have learned a lot from you this year, and I hope that you learned at least one or two things from me.

When my new contact information is active (late August), I will post my new school email. Until then, you can post on the blog if you have questions over the summer or just want to say hello!

Thanks again, and enjoy your summers!

~ Ms. Shea

HOMEWORK
for Tuesday
Packet due: Graphic Organizer, MLA Works Cited, Ppt handout or script of presentation

POWERPOINT TIPS - If you want an outline, follow this:

1. Intro slide (name, period, date, title)

2. Introduce your conflict and stakeholders

3. Lay out all the reasons that your conflict happened

4. Thesis: This is the most important reason!

5. Reason 1 with evidence

6. Reason 2 with evidence

Remember, stick to mostly images - think of the PPT as a way to show images, rather than something to convey a lot of text or to use as a script.

EURO - Monday 6/9

Hey gang, sorry I'm not in today. I will be back on Monday, so feel free to drop me a line with any questions, clarifications, etc. If you would like help with your thesis, email it to me and I'll try to get back to you.

For today, please look at the examples of bad powerpoint slides, to help guide you away from what NOT to do.

Remember, this presentation is about the CAUSE of the conflict, not really about the conflict itself. You are to answer the "What caused it and why" question, not only the "What was it?" question.

If you're struggling with your argument, follow these steps:

1. Define the conflict, and outline the major issues/events/stakeholders
2. List the reasons why it happened - what caused it? What were the "factors" leading to conflict?
3. Of that list, decided which factor is most important in causing the conflict. Voila, this is your thesis!
4. Now come up with two supporting arguments (reasons 1 and 2 on your graphic organizer) that tell me WHY is that the most important factor, and not something else?
5. Now find two concrete details (cited evidence) for each supporting reason.

If you're having thesis wording trouble, start by filling this in:

The most important factor leading to (insert conflict) between (insert stakeholder 1) and (insert stakeholder 2) was (insert the primary cause of conflict chosen from the overall list of causes). This is because (insert supporting reason 1) and (insert supporting reason 2).

Once you have that, you can work on stronger word choice and phrasing.

Sorry to folks who wanted to make up tests this morning, I'll make time for you guys at lunch this week.

Today you should have completed your Propaganda posters. I will stamp the RG on Wednesday.

US
You should have taken the Ch 21 quiz and worked on your packet. If you need/want more time in class we can use tomorrow, or we can just start watching the movie. Up to you guys (depending on how well-behaved you were for the sub, of course). Note that I moved the cube's due-date back until Friday.

EVERYONE
Don't forget that your outside reading summary is due on Thursday at midnight! Because of that, I'll be collecting your notecards on FRIDAY so you can have them to work on your paper Thursday night. The TII folder is now open for anyone who's ready to turn in their paper.

Re: the format, please see the description page. The idea is that there are 5 topics to cover, and you can do it easily in paragraph form, or try to make a paper out of it. Don't try to make a 5 paragraph essay (or 7, in this case). I'm really looking for thoughtfulness in tackling each main point, and that you've integrated qu0tes drawn from throughout the book.

[EDIT] I've put up some examples of how to structure your paper on the description page, so check them out if you're still confused.

All Periods - Peep Extra Credit Update

Hey gang -

Some of you may have noticed, and I've mentioned it to some classes, but Peep Extra Credit has been extended until April 14th, which is after spring break. I figured since I'm trying not to give you real HW over break, it'd be better for you to have time to work on this instead of trying to get it all done while finishing up your summary (which is due on the 3rd).

So, let the creative marshmallow juices... uh... flow.... Or something.

I'm looking forward to see what you guys come up with!

EURO - Napoleon DBQ Feedback

Hey Euro Studies Students!

I hope you're all enjoying your break...

I just wanted to let you know that I've given feedback on your preliminary outlines on turnitin.com. You should have a score out of 10 points for *completion* of the assignment, not for quality of your work.

The essay folder is open, so submit it at any time. It is due at 4pm on Monday, no excuses. Just pretend like you have to print it out and turn it in to me in class - so turn in the digital copy the night before, if you can!

A few notes on the DBQ:
I've noticed a LOT of people making assumptions in their arguments. Just because a document shows Napoleon as being heroic, for example, doesn't mean that he was acutally seen as heroic. Make sure you know WHO WROTE THE DOCUMENT - the point of view has a huge impact on what the evidence can prove.

Also please go over the DBQ checklist in your packet before you turn your paper in. I will not be lenient about spelling, grammar, formatting, etc., and I will expect that you will all turn in your highest quality work.

If you have questions, post to the blog or email me, and otherwise, enjoy your break!

I'm off to play in the snow...

~ Ms. Shea

Happy Break, everyone!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Sophomores, if anything comes up with your essays, leave a post on this blog. I will be checking in on Weds and giving you feedback on your DBQ outlines via turnitin.com, so check back Weds night.

Enjoy the time off!

Sorry I was absent today, guys. I am in now (4th period) and the after school study session is happening as planned. I apologize for the study guide you guys got in class today - I attached the wrong document for the sub to print off, when I meant to attach the REAL study guide. The one in class wasn't wrong, it just wasn't complete.

Keep studying for the finals, and we'll go over stuff tomorrow and after school.


[EDIT: 6:45pm]
Thank you to those of you who showed up for the review session - it showed me that you really are taking your studying and this final seriously, and I hope it was helpful. If you have questions, write them down and we can address them in our short-short classes tomorrow.

Happy studying!
