Happy Thursday.  You need to be reading, prepping, organizing for the takehome (DBQ) essay question:

"HOW DID THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THOMAS JEFFERSON AND ALEXANDER HAMILTON DEFINE THE POST-AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR PERIOD (1789-1800)?

Directions:  The above question requires you to construct a coherent essay that integrates your interpretation of Documents A-H and your knowledge of the period referred to in the question.  High scores will be earned only by essays that both cite key pieces of evidence from the documents (a majority +1) and draw on use of outside knowledge of the period.

Sources for "Outside Information...aka...COWBELL:

Ch. 2, section 3, Interactive Notebooks

This is just like an FRQ....Gray-Area Thesis, 5-Paragraph Essay.  Hand-written in ink...due Monday, along with the DBQ Exercise sheet that assisted you with the documents.

50 Points... Good Luck!
