What did we do today?

You should now have turned in Article of the Week #1. See the post below if you have lost your copy.
You should have received Article of the Week #2. It is on GREEN paper, and it is due 11/13 (B) or 11/14 (A). It is called "Civil War vet finally to be laid to rest" and is about Peter Jones Knapp.
Directions for article of the week are these:
1. Read the entire article.
2. MARK the article and comment, make connections, question, and predictions, etc. as you read. This is called annotating.
3. Talk about the article with someone else.
4. Write a paper about the article. 
  • The paper should have a CLAIM
  • 3 paragraphs
  • Each paragraph should have 2 pieces of evidence (details, facts, quotes, etc.)
  • Each piece of evidence should have some warrant (explanation) to back it up.
  • There should be a concluding statement.
You should also have notes on "Meditation 17." (We have reviewed this twice).
You should have notes on "The Bells" (we took these and reviewed these for 2 days).
You should have a timeline we will continue to work on.
