Wednesday's Discussion Circle

Students, tomorrow is your first discussion circle.  You need to make sure you have read "The First Thanksgiving".  Text code (highlight, circle, write in margins) the reading so that you can refer back to it as you discuss this essay.  I expect a college level discussion with student participation.  I am really looking forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions tomorrow. 

First Reading Assignment

Reminder to students, make sure you have read chapters 2 and 3 for Monday 10/16.  I will be taking up Chapters 2 and 3 reading notes at that time.  Also, remember that the there are three books I am encouraging you to purchase on your own.  Please begin to make arrangements to get copies of these.
