U.S. History

In 5th hour we finished our note-taking from the gender equity slideshow.  In 5th and 6th hours we read the underlined parts of the timeline packet on the Civil Rights Movement and students highlighted the 3-5 most interesting or important items.  In all hours we viewed Maya Angelou's eulogy for Coretta Scott King and then began our screening and note-taking from the film "The Butler."  Connect with a reliable classmate for the context notes for the film as well as the 3-column perspectives notes during viewing.  At the end, we'll also have a thesis contest -- what is the thesis/claim/central message of the film?
