Today we discussed what an "ideal" is...and how we strive to achieve it!  Good job today with our class survey. Tomorrow will be devoted to some close reading identifying the 5 ideals specifically. We will show you a quick video about the topic to set it up.  THE SPIRIT OF '76!

Good Job today with Evaluating Sources Activity...Now...we are (sort of) THINKING HISTORY!...

HAPPY FRIDAY!  We finished our "Getting To Know You Game" with Armstrong rambling about his video.  Primary vs. Secondary sources and "Thinking History" were the hidden objectives.  You have been given the class syllabus and are expected to have read and understand it.  We will talk about things on Tuesday. Also...you must have the "Everday Required Materials" on Tuesday...(hint: they are on the first page of the syllabus!)  See you Tuesday...Happy Labor Day!

DAY ONE is DONE!  Good job with the start up activity..."The Getting to Know You Game" ... will introduce us to Primary and Secondary sources...and how to interpret history.  If you were given a syllabus in class today read it and look at the required materials...spiral notebook, scissors, etc.  and have this stuff by Tuesday (there is no school on Monday...Labor Day). 

We will finish our activity tomorrow!!! "History, No way...I love history!!!!!"  See you tomorrow!
