U.S. History

We finished viewing "How We Got The Vote" while adding to our note page any new information that isn't able simply to be marked on the timeline or in the transcript page.  We discussed the info and film once done.  I asked students to add to their C.Q. page "Women in History in Google Classroom" (I will post a doc full of expert resources you can use at research time) and "Early 1900s teen girls move north for jobs, send money home."  We then began some short work on our last subtopic of the unit -- read the Louise Erdrich's poem "Indian Boarding School:  The Runaways," making notes off to the side as to what each part of the poem means -- use your knowledge of the film Rabbit-Proof Fence from the start of World History last year and the "making white" of native people in Australia...  There will be two rounds of helpful information given tomorrow to break down the poem the rest of the way for ultimate clarity, completeness, and accuracy.  For now, give it a good read and get your best insights and "translations" on the paper.
