02.12 - Sources and Summaries

At the beginning of class today, everyone worked on either the set 10 roots and prefix practice or tried out an alternate roots and prefix activity (if they had finished the practice sheet already).

Alternate roots/prefix activity (completed in individuals' writer's journals)

After 20 minutes, we reviewed the answers to the practice sheet and people shared out their roots/prefixes stories.

We will have the set 10 roots and prefixes quiz tomorrow.

We then returned to working with sources and note cards summaries of sources for the public figure project. I handed out a section overview to help people better understand the development of our research. For today, people should be particularly focused on the first section and making sure that the sources they find help them answer the questions associated with that section.

Everyone had the rest of the period to work with their sources, bibliography, and notecards.
