U.S. History

Students voted on the top collages for the other two class periods -- prizes to be awarded tomorrow. Scored curiosity research was returned to the students.  We discussed and edited the graphic organizer note page for "The Red Scare," stapled it and the collage/culture article (highlighted) to our E.Q. page, and then added themes to the top half of the E.Q. page from those sources.  Students added a few E.Q. notes about WWI from my recounting a few key facts not already covered by other sources.  We then viewed a 2-minute You tube video called "Growing Up in The Great Depresion."  I shared some money-saving habits of my older relatives who were raised by parents who had lived through the Depression and I assigned the students to ask family members about "what they did to save money" in their family/family history -- to report back to the class on Monday.
