World History

Permission slips?  Students did their first Claim & Evidence skills performance -- analyzing a very short, but somewhat challenging piece by Dr. Crubaugh about the subject of history, in general -- to be finished in class tomorrow.  We began by setting up our work page together and I distributed and we read aloud and discussed the "Claim & Evidence Tricks" instruction sheet.  (This can also be found in Google Classroom on the "About" screen ("Claim & Evidence Cheats").  If you were absent see me to set up a time to complete this scored work.  (In first hour we also set up our E.Q. page for this intro unit, defined "human," and discussed that now we are investigating for an answer that goes BEYOND the basic definition...we'll be looking to see how we can explain the experience of being human....This will be done tomorrow in the other W.His. sections.)
