Welcome back!
As a class, we read, discussed, and took Cornell Notes on Ch 22 Section 1 as far as the end of the Social Welfare paragraph.
Homework
Almanac Jan. 5: do a brace thinking map on Ellis Island, then a summary from the brace map info. Due tomorrow.
Extra enrichment: choose any one of the other events that occurred on Jan. 5. Research the event on your own time and write a good paragraph about it. Turn it in to the correct bin. Your paper must have the proper heading, the title of the page (e.g., Jan. 5, Ellis Island), and complete sentences. You will also be graded on conventions (spelling, etc.).
The extra enrichment will be due the following Monday, unless it's a holiday, when it will be due on the Tuesday.
