PLAN OF THE DAY:
HAVE OUT: Google Classroom
WHY:
CITE specific textual evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources
COMPARE and CONTRAST treatments of the same topic in sources
DRAW evidence from info texts to support analysis, reflection and research
ANALYZE key turning points, cause and effect, and multiple causation for events in US History
USE historical research to support arguments and interpretations
Britain's military was the best in the world.
