We are preparing for the Iowa test coming September 22nd! Remember to ask the four questions
1. What is the question asking?
2. What do I need to know in order to answer the question?
3. What's the best answer?
4. Why is it the best answer?
Hispanic Awareness Papers are coming Soon!
Subject matter is first come first served ! Discover great Hispanic Americans and remember America is the melting pot and there are many sides to American history and it's our right to that journey...
The paper should be typed in AP style: double space, but remember do not double the double space. When you start a new paragraph remember to indent/12 font, times new roman
The paper should be at least 2 pages with a strong introduction (something exciting that will grab the attention of the reader/never start it with "He was born". The body should be more informative, and finally your conclusion should summarize the main points of the body.
We will spend time in the computer lab to help you along with your paper. All students should have a USB flash drive, Google Drive or any personal account that computer work can be saved on.
Papers will be graded with a rubric based on AP style typing, introduction, body and conclusion.
Important dates to remember: Subject turned in ASAP
