J is the best teacher alive.
My suggestion would be to get together and go nuts with reading to see if the source is helpful. Print, scan, cut and paste. You don't have to use entire works, you can cut and use pieces that are relevant. CITE ALL SOURCES!!!!!

Friday - TBA... most likely DBQ in class. Timed.
HW: Notes chapter 8. AMSCO reading chapter 5.

Tonight's homework... Is it a paragraph for each sheet or one or two paragraphs for all 3 sheets?

Don't get yourself hung up on the idea that something needs to be X amount of paragraphs. The answer should be as many paragraphs as it takes. If you adress the question, answer it with detail, and conclude it you have done your job. Sorry for the late comment, I had back to school night.

I know that chances are you won't see this but...ok i get that it doesn't matter in how many paragraphs we answer tonights homework in. But the thing that I don't get is do we write about all three sheets at once or do we answer each sheet individually with however many paragraphs we choose.

Your focus is to answer the question. However long that takes, so be it. Your focus shouldn't be on documents, it should be answering the question and giving evidence while citing the documents.
