I presented a "moment of silence" slideshow to commemorate the victims of 9-11 and to challenge us to live our value of freedom by respecting all of our fellow Americans. We continued with our Loewen reading analysis (details posted yesterday), but now in pairs to benefit from collaborative thinking on this first go at this particular skill. I posted the answer key on the SMARTboard for students to use to edit their papers and then self-score their first performance. We charted "9/11 practice" on our Skills Tracking page for "Reading Claim & Evidence." In some hours an outline of the textbook for this unit was provided and students were invited to read over it and record curiosity questions onto their C.Q. page.
