U.S. History

The scored Quindlen article analyses were returned and the thesis answer provided on the SMARTboard; students should edit their individual pages accordingly.  In 5th & 6th hours 10 minutes was provided to finish the Hortons' article analyses (see me during Advisory if you want/need more time on it).  Students then had the choice to have their Hortons' article wp scored to replace the Quindlen score, or if they assess their Quindlen performance to be better, they can keep that score and hold the Horton wp to have the information.  (Once the submitted Horton wps are scored and returned, we'll discuss and edit it.)  We did an audio-visual claim/evidence analysis of Alfre Woodard's performance of Sojourner Truth's speech "Ain't I a woman?"  Again, the information is critical to have, but as for the scoring, it is also a self-evaluative choice to submit it to replace the "Crash Course U.S. History: Civil War part II" or to keep the Crash Course score.  Finally, we began work on an important, but short work page entitled "Pulling It All Together" -- to be finished in class tomorrow.
