Swimming with the Fishes: September 22, 2015

Today in class, most classes started a fishbowl discussion about -- well, a lot of things: Native Americans, mass media, entertainment, historical fact vs. historical fiction, and whose responsibility it is to tell the truth.  You did very well and I look forward to continuing our discussion tomorrow!

I also announced our first quiz, coming up on Friday.  We will be doing some review questions tomorrow and Thursday at the beginning of class.  It is based on the five terms associated with historical thinking on our handout.  Let me know if you have any questions....

HOMEWORK:  Read the article given in class.  Choose four to five statements from the article that made you think.  Set up a T-chart on your paper with quotes on one side, and your response on the other.

If you were in per 1 - 6, read the Thanksgiving article.
Thanksgiving articleIf you were in per 7, read the Pocahontas article.
