U.S. History

We finished reading and discussing our notes from Jane Addams' obituary and discussed some relevant images via SMARTboard.  We set up a new subheading on our E.Q. page -- "Women's Suffrage."  We added a few main ideas from a short intro video (email me and I'll Google share it with you if you were absent).  A timeline of the women's suffrage movement was distributed and students were asked to read it with focus for comprehension, marking items about which they had questions and noting onto their C.Q. pages any items that would be interesting for deeper inquiry at research time.  In some hours we also began viewing Crash Course U.S. History #31 while recording bullet point notes onto the E.Q. that address ideas or facts not already on the timeline handout.  Also, create a clear note to yourself on your E.Q. page, "See Women's Suffage Timeline!" so you remember to resource it at writing time and at UCWP work time. ; )
