Here are the pictures for the Protestant Reformation Essay. Please remember that you are not allowed to copy the work of other students. These should, however, serve as a guide.
The essay outline pictures are from Period 3 on Wednesday and are similar to the ones we did in your class. Remember that this is only one idea of how the paper should look.
I have also included the PP, video link, and DBQ in case you need to refer to them at any point.
Update: A few students contacted me about the pictures being too blurry. I've uploaded a new outline labelled Outline 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 to give you another outline to use for your essay.

Attached below is the HW assignment for Mt. Vesuvius. It has both a reading and a video link. You may use either or both to answer the questions. The assignment must be typed and is due Tuesday.
Also, the seminar about facebook and social media worked really well! I have included an optional/extra credit assignment (10 pts/up to 10 pts).
-You may use any of the bullet points at the end of the reading to come-up with two paragraphs about the reading. Your response should reference the text, but is all opinion based. For example, maybe you want to talk about whether you think your generation is addicted to FB and what ramification this may have on relationships (both romantic or platonic). Or you may want to discuss how people's profile is a mask or is not a mask (and instead a more accurate description of them).
-You can go any direction with the assignment as long as it talks about social media.
-The assignment must be typed, have an original title, and conform to regular essay formatting.
