Today in class...

• We did our daily geography. Today was "Quote Wednesday" and the quote was from the esteemed author David McCullough who said, "To me history ought to be a source of pleasure. It isn't just part of our civic responsibility. To me it's an enlargement of the experience of being alive, just the way literature or art or music is." Students were required to write the quote down, write the author down, and then explain in 3 sentences or so what they thought it meant. 
• We watched the news today (CNN Student News) and did our News Journal.
• We began our Timeline Activity in class.

Homework...

• By tomorrow you should have five events picked for your timeline. You should have them plotted on your line and begun your simple illustrations.
