Tuesday, October 13th

Students began their informational summative papers today.  We began with brainstorming Civil War topics and then we moved onto topic selection and question generation.  Tomorrow students will begin revising their questions and moving forward with research.

During Social Studies we worked on analyzing the ideas presented in "The Soldiers" from A History of US: War, Terrible War.  Students worked with their table groups to understand how the author developed and presented ideas.

As a reminder, our Orchestra field trip is on Thursday so please send in the field trip form if you have not done so.  Homework is also still due on Thursday, so students need to make sure they complete and turn it in on the due date.
