Thursday, November 14th

ELA/SS - Today I combined the two subjects.  Students used a variety of sources to take notes on Native American Migration/Removal.  First we watched a video I got from the New Echota National Park and I modeled how they should take notes.  We then reviewed the difference between primary and secondary sources and we quickly discussed the importance of using a variety of documents.  Then students rotated to tables to take notes from the Social Studies textbook, an excerpt from  Rev. Daniel Butrick's Cherokee Removal journal, a Trail of Tears timeline, a Trail of Tears summary from our 3D maps book, and a Immigration and Migration booklet.  Tomorrow they will take an open-note assessment where they will arrange their notes onto a graphic organizer and answer the following question:
What type of migration was the Trail of Tears?  Use at least four pieces of evidence from different sources in your notes and number them.  For a "4" you must address the geographical and economic factors of this migration.
After tomorrow's assessment students will complete the Trail of Tears 3D map.
