From Socratic Seminars to Slip Games...

Happy Monday Y'all,

      Today is a Slip Game work day. Once your table group has finished, you are more than welcome to read a self selected text.  We will be closing the slip game with a Comprehension Discussion about the questions and the activity.   You and your table groups are responsible for finishing up these questions:

What is the 3/5 Compromise and how is it relevant to our study of the causes of the Civil War?
What is the Land Ordinance of 1787 and how is it relevant to our study of the causes of the Civil War?
What do you think “sectionalism” is?
List some of the dates we have come across in our reading and explain how those dates are relevant?
List some of the people involved with this conflict and explain how those people are relevant?
While we read relevant information and conceptually annotate, when do we use a TP text code and when do we use a CE text code?
What is a Yankee?
What is a Quaker?
What do you think “bigotry” is?
Do you think “Bleeding Kansas” was a TP or a CE?
What is the Missouri Compromise and do you think it is relevant to our study of the causes of the Civil War?
What was the Kansas-Nebraska act and who was the forerunner that pushed to have it passed?
How did Dredd Scott interpret the Missouri Compromise in order to use it to his advantage?
What is the difference between a “free state” and  a “slave state”?
What does “secession” mean? 

      Remember, we will be seeing more Project WICR lessons for STEaM today.  It looks like we will finish up with Gettysburg, and move onto Robert E. Lee along with Jim Crow Laws.  Have a great Monday, and enjoy.
