January 20: Classwork and Homework

In-Class:

• Journal: How far have we come in terms of racial discrimination?  How far do we have left to go?
• We did a KWL (Know, Want to Know, and Learned) in groups about the Vietnam War.  Groups first wrote down everything they knew, then what they wanted to know.  Then, I handed out articles for students to read and they filled out what they learned.
• We began listening to the speech by Martin Luther King Junior protesting the Vietnam war.  We started a worksheet listing the seven reasons he gives for speaking out about the war.

Homework:

• Look online for a short video clip discussing the Vietnam war (pbs.org and the history channel websites are good places to look).  Write a paragraph or two about what you learned.  10 points.  Due next time.
