Important Notes

If you choose to do this project, do it the right way. It is just like the DBQ on the Salem Witch Trials that we did in class together. The only difference is that I've given you the questions to help you examine the documents. You will not be given credit for sloppy or incomplete work. All questions must be answered in complete sentences. You should expect to spend at least 5 hours completing the project. This grade will go in as a test grade. Remember: Extra credit is given for extra effort and work. It's not meant to be easy. It would have been easier to study for the test with the study guide that was provided for you.

The entire packet plus the essay is due on Wednesday, January 6.
