Today, we work individually with the provided photos.  This will be worth 5 points as well.

Browse through the 39 photos in the FLICKR.  Determine which of the photos INTRIGUE you the most.
 Make a TOP THREE list.

Now pare that down to a single photo that you find compelling.
We are going to ask you to get creative with sensory details so it really should be a photo that
makes you think.

Next you will be given the  THINK SEE WONDER handout. You will need to work toward
completing this worksheet. This handout requires a full page of writing in addition to the completion of

Tuesday, October 9th:

Today, we will practice writing a DBQ.  We have created a
practice DBQ that we will work through in THREE groups.  
Each group will write ONE BODY PARAGRAPH to share with
the class.

Checklist for each body paragraph:
1. Introduce the claim. Discuss the time period and the claim.
2. Provide evidence that proves the claim (this comes from the
documents). Breakdown the documents’ meaning (concisely).  
While discussing the documents you might include other
meaningful information (omi) that is relevant but not included
in the documents.
3. Connect the document evidence and (omi) to the claim and
possibly the Reconstruction amendments. In essence you are
explaining why the evidence is “good” evidence.

(Each Body Paragraph Should be 8-12 Sentences)

Write the paragraph in first ½ of block.

Class review of paragraph the second ½ of block.
