Sharon Doss History Classes

If you are taking the AP EXAM, please ask your homeroom teacher if it is okay for you to come to my classroom, Tuesday, during EOC testing, so that we may STUDY. 

I am available for AP Exam tutoring, every Thursday, after school. There will be a sign up sheet – please sign, weekly, if you plan to attend. Thanks, Mrs. Doss:)

Remember to bring payment for your AP Exams. We have to order the tests by March 26th. The amount is $86.00.

Write a Compare/Contrast Essay about the Food Industry of the 1900s and the Food Industry of the 2000s. Using the Chapter 28  – Progressivism and the movie Food, Inc as your base of reference. Topics you may want to include: Big Business, Poor and unsafe working conditions, Animal Cruelty, food labeling, worker’s problems, and government involvement.

The essay should be at least 2-pages typed, double-spaced, and 12-inch font. There is no need for works cited, unless you use a source other than your textbook or the movie (ex. if you quote The Jungle, you MUST have a works cited page).

Have fun, and be creative.
