Period 1 and 2
We turned in our reading logs today and completed our reflections in class. We re-visited the pre-Revolution discussion we had last week, and looked at the Declaration of Independence; we discussed the meaning of primary source document and why it is important to know what these are and how to read them.
Period 3 - We wrote reflections and turned in our reading logs for Trimester 1. We also practiced our reading skills with an in class reading of one of our independent reading books.
Period 5 and 6
We finally finished those reading projects - great job, class! They were really creative and gave us a lot of new books to consider reading for the future!
We reviewed the definition of primary source documents and looked at some excerpts from the Declaration of Independence. We received a handout on the Declaration; questions attached are due on Wednesday. In addition, read page 193 in your Social Studies book and answer question 5 on page 193. I modified the question for you...you will only write one paragraph, not an entire essay, and focus on what you read on page 193 and what you learned as you answered the questions in the handout. These will all be due on Wednesday!
