Reading Your History Textbook Activity

DAY ONE:

Today we will be reading a section out of your U.S. History textbook that focuses on our 35th president, John F. Kennedy.

Our during-reading strategy will be using sticky-notes to bookmark important information of this biography for future recall.

Directions:

1). A sticky note pad will make it's way around to you.  Please take 11 sticky notes

2). Write the following labels on your sticky notes:

* #1 - Name

* #1 - Time Period

*#1 - Place

*#2 - Occupation

*#2 - End

*#3 - Personality

*#4 - Accomplishment

*#4 - Accomplishment

*#5 - Challenge

*#5 - Challenge

*#6 - Quote

3). While we read, place the labeled sticky notes directly on your photocopied section where they apply.

DAY TWO: 

Today we will be creating a biocube based on our sticky noted-notes that we took 

1). Use Chrome today and Click on the following link http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/cube_creator/

2). Use your numbered sticky noted sections of the reading to help you fill out the chart.

3). You may work individually or with a partner.  If you work with a partner, only use one computer, and please make sure to print off two copies, so you each have one to turn in.

 4). Your biocube is not due until next Friday's binder is collected, so if you run out of time today, please print off what is done and you can write in the rest for homework.

DO NOT FORGET TO TURN IN YOUR BINDER/FOLDER BEFORE YOU LEAVE OF THIS WEEK'S WORK. It is worth 100 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
