Today students:
- Received preliminary instructions for a Research Project over Texas History, 1900-2015
- Paged through Chapters 20-27 in the textbook to get an overview look at Texas history from 1900-2003 and to examine pictures and topics that might interest them for the research project
- Examined "A Step-by-Step Procedure for Research in Texas History"
- It was pointed out that they will begin their research with a source containing visual representations of their topic.
- They will then go to a source with a small amount of information on their topic and then proceed to sources with increasingly detailed information.
- Discussed (finally!) Mark Twain's short story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." Notes on some of what was said can be found here.
Assignments for Wednesday:
- Finish paging through Ch. 20-27 in your textbook.
