Pre-AP Classes finished their notes over the conflict between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams using the "Cutting Out the Fat" reading and comprehension strategy. This strategy helps the students take out the extra information and narrow down the main idea to 1 sentence only using the amount of the words given by the teacher. We finished discussing the Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court case and the significance it had on our government. On to the Louisiana Purchase...
Regular classes worked on an H.S.I. (Historical Scene Investigation) assignment/illustration. Students had to look for 3 details, come up with 1 question, and 1 prediction per quadrant. The illustration dealt with the relationship between the British and Native Americans and how they felt about the Americans.
