U.S. History

We finished viewing and note taking for "The Presidents" DVD (through the Ford Administration).  We then viewed the 7 1/2 minute You tube video of Democracy Now wherein George Takei is interviewed about being in an internment camp during WWII. (Add to your EQ page for all of these clips.)  8:00 minute clip "We Are Still Here" that features three Native American teenagers.  2 1/2 minute Hari Kandabolu clip about 2042.  The Eugene Robinson claim/evidence work pages were returned.  Be sure to use your "homework time" to see me for help with skills and to schedule skills re-dos as needed.  Most students are doing good work and earning nice scores, but there is still time to reach a bit as desired.  ; )
