4. Write your DBQ as a Google Doc and share it with your partner (see link below if you need to). IMPORTANT: Challenge yourself to write three FULL pages of writing. The absolute minimum is two pages. Do not count the headings; in fact, you do not need headings.
Partners and Emails

5. As we did for Unit 3 Review Essay, once you receive your partner's essay, use the rubric to go through their essay, grading it and providing feedback. Return your grading and feedback to your partner. This process is for you as much as for your partner. PLEASE make sure you keep up and do this, your partner and I NEED you to do this!!!

6. As always, email if you need help or have questions.

Thank you.
