U.S. History

We watched the movie trailer for "SELMA" as a point of discussion to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (which is Monday).  We visited our "Mental Map Timeline" and discussed it as a visual cue for the context of our current unit of study.  The current "Outline of Some Popular Details" was distributed and students read over the list carefully, marking items of curiosity.  We viewed via You tube "Crash Course Civil War #20" as a focused intro to the unit while recording curiosity questions onto our new "Civil War Curiosity Questions" page that we set up.  Finally, part I of III Textbook Work Pages was distributed -- to be completed in class on Tuesday.
