6th hour began the textbook observation work that is detailed over the past two days for hours 1 & 2. (Due to the SIP day yesterday, they are a day behind.) In the remaining hours we finished discussing students' observations and then they collaborated in their small groups to pull E.Q.-relevant ideas and details onto their E.Q. page. We then began some information-gathering on some early Native American urban cultures -- pick up a handout and map packet. Use p.5 of the text and the internet to shade on the maps the locations for the 7 cultures listed on the handout. We began a timeline set-up on the handout in some class periods -- to be continued in class tomorrow.
