Small Groups: First Day

Essential Question: Are narratives good evidence in arguments about freedom?

Goal: Clarify small group learning strategies

Agenda:
1. Read
2. Describe what it means to work as a team
3. Make a schedule
4. Define group roles
5. Begin work on two texts about the Constitution

Today I gave you your groups of four. First, you will complete all of the activities on pages 68-71 as a group. Make sure you read all of the text and follow the directions.
