Students collaborated on their reading notes and E.Q. themes. The next homework is to read an take notes from pp.665-693 by Monday. Students have a choice as to have their Carlson reading claim/evidence scored. We dabbled in some anecdotes from the Great Depression -- a 2-minute You tube video called "Growing Up In The Depression," a few family stories I shared from my older relatives, and an assignment for them to collect stories from their families by Monday. We began reading Watkins' essay while taking notes (no circle page this time).
