Today is a throw back day. That means we will be immersing ourselves in text. We may also be looking at topics within history that we have already discussed before. As you do this you will need to focus on 3 things...
1. TLH Categories
2. WICR
3. SQ3R Strategies
TE- Through Their Eyes
CE- Cause & Effect
TP- Turning points
CC/CH- Change & Continuity
UP- Using the Past
Here are your TLH Categories that I am expecting to see in your texts as you annotate them. You must read Article 27: History's Paradox. The other article you may choose. The articles may be read with a partner or alone. NO MORE THAN 2 PEOPLE IN A GROUP!!
WICR stands for Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, and Reading. We will revisit this next week when Dubbs and I are back. This will be the linchpin that carries you into high school. Remember it well. WICR rocks!And finally, I will be leaving you with SQ3R. Some of you may hate me as much as last years 8th graders for this little bundle of joy. SQ3R stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. Think about how you use this today in your reading and be ready to write a short Quickwrite next week on how you use this in your literary life.
Enjoy, and have a great day!!
