Today students continued working on their informational papers and they completed a reference frame about Jim Crow.  Students first discussed prior knowledge they had about the topic and then read an attached document.  Then they connected the text to our central idea, identified which concept lens it was aligned to, and then selected up to five facts to include on their worksheets.  I'm quite pleased that most students are stepping up to the challenge of analyzing a document with multiple objectives to accomplish.

I also passed out the Reconstruction study guide.  It looks a little different because I accidentally copied the wrong quiz on the back.  Students were open-minded though and they just stapled the correct copy to the back of the paper.  As a reminder, the Reconstruction assessment is on Thursday.
