Objective: I can use evidence from the text to determine the meaning of new words in an article on achieve 3000. Today, students finished the jigsaw activity from yesterday. Then, we discussed the difference between an antonym and a synonym, and played a quick game to review the definitions. Students then went to the computer lab to read the article "Where History Still Lives" on Achieve3000. This article discusses whether slave cabins should be preserved or not as historic landmarks. No warm-up.
