How to write the IA
This is a fantastic evaluation of how to construct and what to consider in the IA. HoweverLINK TO IA EVALUATION, DO NOT add too much detail that should be added to paper to footnoting (or endnotes, if that's what you choose) to get around the word-count.
Most importantly, you must be consistent. ALSO, YOU CAN ONLY INCLUDE SOURCES IN YOUR BIBLIOGRAPHY THAT WERE CITED IN YOUR PAPER.

History, January 2011 and Historical Investigation
Happy New Year! We'll be back in school shortly.
2IBA - I've now posted the schedule and grading system for the next six months. YOU MUST KEEP UP WITH THE READING. We'll have two days of review and assessment to see where you are and where you're going (and more importantly, where you want to be). More debates, more review and a Jeopardy championship.
3IBA - EVERYONE must have an outline for IA by this week. We're moving out of the review period and into new material. YOU MUST KEEP UP WITH THE READING.
I will begin to push all of you to truly start thinking critically about sourcing and what you're actually writing. I've finished grading your exams and papers and frankly, most of you are not answering the question and doing analysis, just reciting facts (and some of those facts are inaccurate).
