Pick up the Founding Fathers packet and highlight key points as you read. See a reliable classmate for the few notes we added. Also, feel free to jot down the names of a few of those folks onto your C.Q. page if you're interested to know more about them (except probably Hamilton, as the musical will give us a lot more on him). We watched a 4-min video about the Declaration of Independence while adding notes to our "Class Activities E.Q. notes." We then read the handout of the Declaration, marking the thesis in the intro and the conclusion as well as where the founders address counterarguments in both the intro and the conclusion -- to be discussed Monday.
