Analyzing Primary Sources - August 19-20, 2009

Agenda:

1. Attendance/New Seating Chart
2. Journal - "Coming to America" (top of pg 7)
3. Passenger Manifests in 1634 (bottom of pg 7)
4. Primary Source Presentations
HW: The Great Awakening and the Enlightenment (pg 8)

Today we began class with our very first journal prompt, which asked, "Which of the following statements do you agree with more? Explain your answer: 1. The first immigrants to America in the 1600s came for money. 2. The first immigrants to America in the 1600s came for religion and family.

After writing journal responses in our INB, we then analyzed two different primary sources: passenger manifests from ships sailing to America in 1634. One ship was bound for Virginia, the other for New England. If you were absent for this, please ask Mr. Ippolito for the reading so you can complete the assignment.

After this, we began presenting our primary source artifacts and documents that we brought from home. We didn't finish, so we'll complete our presentations in the next class.

For homework, you have a textbook reading assignment called, "The Great Awakening and the Enlightenment." There was a handout with this, and as with all handouts, this one is also available at on my pbworks site at http://rippolito.pbworks.com. Use this site for all in-class and homework handouts.
