Test Corrections

As explained in class, you may turn in test corrections to me on Friday. If you choose to do corrections, please do the following


  1. Write out the question and correct answer
  2. In 1-2 sentences, explain why you got the question wrong and how you know that this is the correct answer
  3. If you choose to correct your essay, use examples unique to the ones included in the essay that we looked at in class today
Test corrections should be on a separate piece of paper. Do not make the corrections on the original test.

Essay Outline

As promised, I have uploaded the essay template to Google Drive for you to use as you prepare for the test. You can access it here. I'll note that the prompt is the one that we went over in class. The question that you will need to answer for the test is about Hamilton, Jefferson, and political parties (see the study guide).

Also, one of your classmates asked if I could upload the homework calendar. I have posted it, and you may access it via this link.

If I haven't checked your book notes yet, please bring them to class tomorrow. If you have misplaced them, you can download a digital copy here.
