Permission slips are due. The "My Voice Matters" work was returned with comments/feedback and then we discussed certain items and students made edits onto their pages. Student surveys were also returned. We began work in the "white textbook" (America: A Concise History, which has a white cover) -- read and take notes on pp.2-33 due by the start of class Friday. I modeled this process with the students via SMARTboard to show how to efficiently digest a textbook, while reinforcing that it will take time and there is a need to pause and do a quick Google search to clarify terms or references every so often -- to be continued in class tomorrow.
