15 minutes was given for the students to finish and turn in their claim/evidence analysis page for the "Immigrant Voices" essay. Students were allowed to borrow the packets to finish tonight for homework as needed -- due first thing tomorrow. Students collaborated to make quick work of filling in the presidents' names on the political parties handout provided yesterday. We then began note-taking (and embedding CQs) while viewing the first 10 minutes of "The Presidents" DVD (disc 2, episode 2....available on You tube).
