Flush it Down

We concluded the Articles of Confederation Analysis...surmising its ineffectiveness.  A modern nation needed a government with some actual authority (power) to negotiate, decide, tax, establish a currency, raise an army, enforce laws, etc.  That's why I refer to the Articles as caca...deserving to be flushed down the toilet.

You also picked up a handout (Advice & Essay Model    and     Essay Evaluation) as a means to introduce your Q3 Project: Essay on How We Won the War for Independence.  You will write TWO ROUGH DRAFTS (1% each), conduct FOUR PROOFREADS (.5% each), and then write a FINAL ESSAY(5%).  Your first task is to actually take a stand...pick a reason for our victory and have a basic understanding of how it played out.  Your THESIS is due BY FRIDAY - simply submit the back side of the handout from last Thursday.

This week is a bit messed up due to the PLAN Test (Thursday) and a conclusion to the speaker from Q1 (Friday).  Just keep up with everything and we'll be fine.
