Wednesday 10/15

It's Clarklisto Kickoff day.

Please fill out this survey with your partner.  We will use it to assign topics for the project.

HW: Find an article on your topic that is from a reputable site(see below) and read it and annotate it for homework. The link to the site should appear on your notes page. This will be graded tomorrow.

Timeline to START

Finding a reliable source hints:
  • Add site:.edu to the end of your search terms  and it will only give you educational institution hits for example election of 1860 site:.edu
  • Add site:.nps.gov  to the end of your search terms.  This will search just the National Parks service Website--great resources here!  for example election of 1860 site:.nps.gov
While you can use Wikipeida to get ideas about how to search, you may NOT use it as your final resource.  Feel free to browse the links at the end of the article to find a resurce that is helpful BUT Wikipedia articles will not be counted as your reliable resource!

By the time you leave class you should:
  1. have completed the survey with your partner, 
  2. created and shared a notes page with your partner, 
  3. begun a google slide presentation and shared it with your teachers
