We'll be working on your five paragraph document based question (DBQ) essay on the Dust Bowl the next two classes. The rough draft is due at the end of class (11/15 and 11/18) and finial copy will be turned in the following class (you'll have about 20 minutes to finish up and grade it).

Remember that the essay must be in your own words and not copied.
When you finish your final draft next class, you and another student need to grade the essay using the pink rubric sheet and then turn it in.
Dust clouds, as explained by Mr. Furst:
Finished? You can watch CNN Student News and/or work on Chapter 23/4 homework and look over the enhancement materials for Ch 23.
You can also check out Ken Burns' excellent documentary on the Dust Bowl. It's highly recommended.
The Chapter 23 Great Depression and New Deal test is fast approaching.
Make sure to complete and study your Ch 23 Test Review Sheet (pink) and take your Ch 23 Practice test at SuccessNet.
The online test is for practice and you will not receive a grade based on your score.
Many test questions are on there but not all and some
questions on the practice test aren't on the actual test.
Good Luck!
There will also be a study session after school on Thursday in my room until 4:05. There will be help and more study games.
