Here is your assignment for tonight:

U.S. History Homework-Worth 20 points

10 points- Minimum 3 paragraphs, with 4 sentences minimum each paragraph

10 points- Quality of sentences

Write 3 paragraphs from the perspective I gave you in class. Remember that for me a paragraph is a minimum of 4 sentences. You will have points counted off if your sentences are too simplistic and/or short. (See me if you don’t understand what I mean by this.)

Write 3 paragraphs in a letter format. Include any feelings, events, special circumstances or anything else you can imagine this individual might have gone through during these historic events. This letter may be written to a friend, family member, or newspaper editor.
