World History

1st hour collaborated to transfer the bets ideas and examples (thesis and some evidence) from the 3rd Rock assignment (returned yesterday) onto the E.Q. page to be organized for the writing that we'll do later this week.  (Hours 4 & 7 did this yesterday.)  In all hours students read over the Research Rubric and the Research Cheats documents in Google Classroom (in the "About" section).  I also provided a handout to show the center-line media sources that are ideal to use for BASIC information that doesn't require a PhD expert...We discussed that reading materials on the left and on the right can offer interesting sources, however, reading ONLY on the left or right tends toward a particular lens rather than multiple lenses for balance.  Make sure to have spent 20 minutes time-on-task researching before tomorrow.  We'll have the whole class period for more minutes of time-on-task research with the work all due at the start of class Thursday.
