I apologize for not being there again today. I have a meeting with Mr. Jonas (who is my docent) and other teachers who involved in a program throughout the district. I will be back tomorrow.
In the meantime, continue to work on your Investigation Essays. As far as I know, there are only a few of you who are almost finished and ready to make revisions. That said, I am posting two rubrics on Edmodo that you are going to use to self-assess yourselves, your Investigation Essays, and possibly another Top Gun you would like to partner up with. Remember, a little peer review is good for the soul.
You have already assessed yourselves on the questions you have asked as good historians do. In the final stages of writing your Investigation Essay, you will need to look back at your work for the evidence you have used and more specifically, where you tied in Through Their Eyes evidence.
As we finish Units 3 & 4 and reflect back on the process of "DOING HISTORY", we will be thinking deeper about three things: QUESTIONS, EVIDENCE, and INTERPRETATION. This trifecta is what history is all about. I bet if you think about what you needed to do to write your essays you will see that you've already been doing this.
Love, peace, and taco grease,
