RI 8.9 Articles and Sources

Please find links to some primary and secondary source documents to use for RI 8.9. 

Read through the documents and select which documents would be a focus for your unit. 

Also "The Moon Landing" that Abby mentioned in the Clinic books would be awesome to use. 

Do not use Benedict Arnold. 

Abby, I have taken your links from a previous blog post and put them on the side under RI 8.9. 

Have a good weekend!

P.S.  I think I am finally getting a grasp of the unit.  I believe that we could use some of the articles Abby and I have found under RI 8.9 to use throughout the unit.  Use those first and have students knock off RI 8.2, RI 8.3, RI 8.9 using conspiracy, mystery, and lies.  The articles I found previously don't exactly fit that.  I am just now completely understanding it. I jumped in to finding resources before I had a complete understanding.  Sorry, all!  It's not too late though, I haven't actually started the unit yet.  My kids have been in the lab searching, but I haven't given them a writing prompt besides search for a conspiracy.  I did tell some to pick a side in their search, but it was a select few, and I can easily fix that. 

I did go over primary and secondary sources and how to evaluate reliable sources before we went to the lab.  I have posted some links and documents on the blog and in dropbox under writing.

I also made a general lesson 2 vocabulary quiz over root words and posted it to Dropbox.   

PEACE ; )
