Students thought again about why utopia is not easily (or possibly) achieved. But what ARE the qualities students want in their societies? See their goals above.

We did an activity in which students were told: "Read 'The House,' a brief story about two boys in a house, and highlight important information." When they tried, they found it was difficult to know what to highlight as they could not judge what "important" meant. With the directions altered to "look for details that a thief would find interesting," or "look for details that a real estate agent might find interesting," the task became easy. Students could quickly find relevant details. Lesson: know what the purpose is behind your reading. If you know what you are trying to learn or seek, that information will be easier to locate.

Using a Telling Frame helps activate students' prior knowledge while simultaneously allowing us (the teacher) to assess what information can be reviewed versus taught in depth.

As a review of the US Revolutionary War, we watched a School House Rock video. We talked about the skills we practiced in "The House." What types of information should we listen and watch for? Then we discussed history sources. How do we know what is true? Who is telling the story? What voices are being left out?

We began reading a textbook chapter on Thursday and completed it on Friday. The first step was about how to approach reading a textbook. How do you know what parts to look at when there's just so much information thrown out on a page? What types of information are we looking for?

We then read and took notes on details that show what the early formation of the United States was like. As we read, we talked about the information, and also pondered whose stories were missing from this piece of history.
