We discussed the Kammen piece. In first hour, we went through some sentences to practice how "breaking it down" looks and feels -- that it is attacking and picking apart the text in small doses with dictionaries, access to the teacher with questions, time, tenacity, and patience. In all hours students edited their papers according to my key on the SMARTboard and we discussed the process for the skill as well as the content of the actual article. Add notes to your CQ and EQ pages. We then began a new reading claim and evidence work page for Jon Meacham's "God and the Founders" -- this is individual, scored work -- to be finished in class on Monday.
