Social 20-1

I split you into four different groups today, and I gave each group an envelope filled with quotes about nationalism. Each group was assigned a quote to analyze, which you did in your small groups while referring to the step-by-step instructions that were taped to the outside of the envelope. We discussed each quote as a class, and then I gave you the Unit 2 WRA II essay question sheet. You had a little bit of time to discuss the quote in your small groups. You're only allowed to bring this sheet into the computer lab on Monday. You're only allowed to write your notes on this sheet on the front of the page, and in the designated space. All of your notes must be hand-written. You'll also be writing the Chapter 7-8 Test next Tuesday (May 8th), please see the study guide below.
