The Lincoln-Douglas Debates & Collaborative Annotation...

Happy Mobday Almost Freshies,

      We have finally arrived at the last article in our series.  We should be CONSTRUCTING MEANING from all that we have read, and we all should have an idea of some of the deep causes of the Civil War.  What was the Dred Scott Decision?  What is a "free stater"?    What was the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850?  And most importantly, why do all these things matter?

      Today, the activity we will be engaging in is called Collaborative Annotation.  We will look at an article together, then break into our table groups and annotate it COLLABORATIVELY.  To start, please click on the links below to refresh your memory and access any schema you may have on these subjects. 

The Dred Scott Decision

Bleeding Kansas

Today's learning targets:
I can identify main ideas, analyze supporting details, and evaluate inferences within discipline specific media.  
I can apply content in order to evaluate relationships of people and ideas and to draw conclusions.
