U.S. History

Students collaborated in small groups to edit their E.Q. notes related to Loewen's Chapter 2.   We then began some work from Charles C. Mann -- I shared some context/lens info about him and his 1st book (see on ledge up front if curious), and then we took a few direct instruction notes via SMARTboard onto our E.Q. pages.  We then set up a Claim/Evidence work area with "thesis" area and "evidence" area directly on our E.Q. page entitled "1491."  Choose either Chapter 1 or Chapter 11 (eleven) and then do the "Claim & Evidence" work on that chapter in preparation for Friday's scored Socratic discussion.  Time will be given in class tomorrow to finish the reading and note-taking.
