Today students learned about the Wounded Knee Massacre. They took notes about the cause and effect of that conflict and they watched a short video about Sitting Bull. Students then gathered their notes and work from this week to study tonight. Tomorrow, students will be expected to use their notes to help them answer ONE of the following questions:
1.Compare and contrast the Battle of Little Bighorn and the Massacre at Wounded Knee. What are the similarities and differences of each of these conflicts?
2.What were the main causes leading up to the Trail of Tears? What happened as a result of the Trail of Tears?
We also discussed opinion writing today. I taught them about the acronym of RAFTS and tomorrow they will have practice with writing effective opinions. We concluded our day with reading Gathering Blue and discussing various literary elements.
