Students collaborated on E.Q.-relevant items from the reading pp.467-493, and then I had the students trade notes to give each other feedback on being concise with true notes" in lieu of writing full sentences, etc. I did a sample edit on the SMARTboard of a student's note compared to a shorter way to record the info and reminded the students to see me one-on-one if they want one-on-one help directly from me on their note-taking -- more than happy to help! We then began recording E.Q. notes about the "Southern white reaction" to the Civil War and Reconstruction by way of collaborative work on 5 articles...See directions at the top of each (1 = read the whole thing; 4 = required only to read the underlined portions)...to be finished in class tomorrow.
