Let's watch the video, "Why Historical Thinking Matters" together. Not sure this all sunk in yesterday...
 * What We Did In Class**

After we have revisited our definitions of what history is, we will take a look at two documents: With the first one, I'll model a "Think Aloud" strategy while we read, and then we'll compare the Declaration of Independence with the Declaration of Sentiments after the whole class does a "Think Aloud" with the second one. We must discuss what we are "doing" with these two documents and be very deliberate and intentional with our thinking - remember, history is not passively learned.

If we have time, I'd like to show you what your portfolios will look like.
