The Great Migration: January 24, 2020

Focus: How did racial violence in the South bring about movement and change?

Take a look at your checklist! How did you do?

1. Warming up with our first round of book talks (and the first goodie basket!)

• One caveat: At some point, after somebody's book talk, you need to ask at least one genuine question.

2. Composing independent reading Thought Log #2 (and reading a bit since we didn't have Monday)

3. Watching a mini documentary on The Great Migration

What?
What was the Great Migration? What brought it about?

When? Where?
What time period are we talking about? From where to where? Major cities affected?

Why?
Why is the Great Migration important for us to know about? How did it shape us as a nation?

HW:
1. For MONDAY: Continue reading your independent reading book and bring it to class. 

2. By next FRIDAY, JAN 31, you should be at least halfway through your book. Catch up now if you have fallen behind.

2. Ongoing: Start prepping your book talk; make sure you're ready to go on your assigned date.
