You all had a homework reading assignment last night. Make sure your names are on that and turn it in - collect at your tables so they can be collected.

How are we supposed to use a document like Washington's letter to Knox? It's a good opportunity to write a post to your "TLH Notebook" that //describes what a letter like Washington's to Knox tells us about an event//. Consider the author, the audience, and the subject.
 * What We Did In Class**

Last night you read about the Constitutional Convention. There, the delegates from twelve of the states fought over the structure of government and other issues. With a partner, create a poster that demonstrates/illustrates one of the obstacles that challenged them during that summer of 1787. These will be collected at the end of the hour. Paper is in the BIG drawer by Alpha Table, markers and colored pencils are on the table by the State of Michigan flag/Foxtrot Table. 1s get paper for the table, 4s get markers/colored pencils for the table.

None tonight. But you may want to spend some time looking at those vocabulary words as you'll be quizzed over them tomorrow for bell work.
