U.S.

We finished the "Layering-to-Later" segment on our E.Q. and C.Q. pages by adding notes from whole-class contributions about the Occupation (recall that you need the facts from the other two articles, from the other two groups -- so copy notes from a reliable classmate who recorded the shared notes from the SMARTboard).  The second L-t-T item was a quick, easy read about the subcultures of the 11 regions of the U.S. with a taste of some history that influenced the zones -- think, especially about the East Coast (colonial) area.  Simply read and record curiosities onto your C.Q. page.  We then began the skill of Research.  A handout was provided, and we highlighted it together with detailed discussion.  Pick one up, read it carefully, and see me with any questions you may have.  We began, then, to conduct on-line research in the lab -- to be continued and finished during class tomorrow.
