Today I started by returning the Red River sketchnotes and then I went on and on about how good they were, and I meant it. I thought you all showed evidence of analytical thinking and creativity. I hope you see value in this kind of work. Next, we changed gears to a more traditional "bread and butter" skill: paragraph writing. Unfortunately, the interactive software failed partway through the lesson, so we lost some notes, but as long as you remember the "names/tells more" format we'll all be happy. When we return on Wednesday, we'll use the laptops and our research in the Google Doc to help us compose a paragraph that will apply all that we practiced today: remember, think conflict and cultural threat when you think of the Metis in this period.
