7th hour -- papers were returned as detailed yesterday (for 3rd hour yesterday). We finished the claim/evidence (circles page) for the textbook excerpt and we discussed that identifying the thesis is nearly impossible, because there isn't one. The intro leads us down one path, but the subheadings and text structure point to something else. K-12 HISTORY textbooks, sadly, fail to stake expert claims. They just give a lot of information without a framework or perspective. SO, let's use the examples, evidence (details!) for our EQ and CQ pages, now...we can at least get that much from it. ; ) Now that we all have back our Communal EQ writing (end-of-unit paragraphs), let's finish the E.Q. part on the Communal Unit-Closure Work Pages (see a reliable classmate to edit your paper for any additional key ideas we discussed that you may not yet have on yours.)
