U.S. History

See a reliable classmate to "steal" some E.Q. ideas/notes from the Antietam video. ; )  We discussed together the John Brown case study notes -- be sure to talk through with a reliable classmate to make sure you have all of the important ideas as well as clarity about them.  Then, see what E.Q. relevant info you can pull from the case study onto your E.Q. page.  We read aloud together excerpts from the primary source of South Carolina's secession declaration -- pick up a copy and read through it.  See a reliable classmate for the short discussion we had about the primary cause of their secession and their legal argument.  Finally, I distributed the work page for our next Reading Claim & Evidence (that will be for an article by Catton) and encouraged the kids to USE their 1/2-sheet "Claim & Evidence Tricks" when doing the work during class tomorrow (when a sub will be here).  (Extra copies of the "Tricks" page were made available.)
