Today we completed a journal entry on
John Fitzgerald Kennedy (we bullet pointed all we knew about him; we added to our entry after we watched the video and read an article about his assassination)
We completed a Listening Activity by watching a short video on JFK and answering 10 multiple choice questions; we corrected this in class & discussed.
We analyzed the excerpt we read from Lincoln: A Photobiography and handed in our "Think and Note" sheet. We took notes on Abe Lincoln in our journal from a power point.
We examined "coincidences" between Lincoln and Kennedy.
We read a SCOPE article on the day Kennedy was assassinated.
