My post is late. I'm so ashamed! (as all people who don't do their homework on time should be)

So yesterday I introduced this assignment:

Begin gathering evidence for your historical investigation. Critically read your scholarly book and journal sources and begin taking notes for what you will begin listing as evidence under Section B on your I.A. document.

By Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 8:20 a.m. you are to have at LEAST 20 separate pieces of evidence (and all properly cited.) These must come from at LEAST 3 different sources. They are to be placed under Section B on your IA GDoc.

For books your footnotes should follow this format: First Name Last Name, Title (City: Publisher, Year), 34.

For more citation guidance, here is a link to the Turabian Quick Guide

Subsequent references: After you've listed the full work once, you only list last name and page number: Hyer, 34.

For additional guidance on evidence, visit the Section B of the IA at Mr. Hyer's website.

Also, continue the research process. If you've found some helpful sources, keep reading! If you haven't been able to find any books/scholarly articles, get going. A trip to the library is necessary!

Here's the PowerPoint from class today, all about what events led the U.S. to formally declare war on the side of the Allies. It was a large file, so had to be split into two parts to cooperate with GoogleDocs.
