Today students:
  • Learned to make QR Codes
    • Made codes for the Google My Maps assignment from a couple of weeks ago
    • Helped finalize the Texas Our Texas bulletin board in the north hall downstairs, adding their QR Codes to the Texas My Texas table/map assignment
  • Analyzed the two maps from yesterday showing the relationship between Texas geography and the lifestyles of the Indian tribes living in each region and sub-region of Texas. 
    • Each student took the region & sub-regions their defended in the Regions debate last week.
    • Students will share their analyses with one another tomorrow.
  • Looked at several other maps of Indians of Texas, noting that not every map shows the same locations as those in our textbook. Some of the more useful ones can be found here, here (1500), here (1500/1776), here (Comanche Migration), here, and here. That last site has a useful note about the challenges of mapping locations of Indian tribes.
