Today you worked with a partner looking at the development of the 5 Ideals in American History.  We will discuss 9/11 tomorrow...it happened 13 years ago!  How old were you? What do your parents remember about that day?  Why did they attack us on 9/11/2001?

We will resume the 5 Ideals Activity on Friday!

Today you were working on the Ch. 2 Ideals reading packet filling in the chart...graphic organizer...in your notebook...you had better know the following when you walk into the room tomorrow:

1. What is an ideal?  Define it?
2. What is the 'focus question'?
3. What are the FIVE IDEALS?
4. Did you finish the chart from the reading?  If not finish it tonight!

Tomorrow you will be placed with a "random" partner and "take a walk" through American History tracing the pursuit of the 5 Ideals in history...!
