Access the online text as a whole class. Students can get directions on my wiki: missbrownmhs.wikispaces.com <span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">or open the Word doc. below:

<span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif'; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">



<span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">2. In a new window, access wordle.net. Each student should copy and paste a paragraph from the online text (p 78-81) into wordle and create. Then students should embed the wordle into their online notebook (in a new page titled: Colonial Economies) and below make a prediction about what the reading is going to be about. Open the document below to view directions for Wordle:

<span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">

<span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">3. Next students should copy and paste the reading (pp 78-81) into a Word Doc. and upload the word doc. using crocodoc.com. Students should use crocodoc to do a quick mark-up of the reading before going back in to pull out details.

//Step 1//: Go to Crocodoc

//Step 2:// Click on "Upload Document". Upload whichever document you saved from above.

//Step 3:// Mark it up. You can highlight, underline, draw symbols, and add comments. Play around with the tool bar to see what you can do

//Step 4:// Once you have finished, you will embed the link to your Crocodoc on to your virtual notebook.

To do this:


 * Click on "Share" in the upper right side of your window
 * Then chose "Embed" and copy the embed code.
 * Return to your virtual notebook and go to edit more.
 * On the edit toolbar, click on "Widget"
 * Then pick "other" at the bottom, and paste the embed code in the box.
 * Save.

<span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">4. Students will be instructed that today they will be focusing on just pulling out the most important details in the reading on the northern and southern colonial economies. As a whole class, teacher and students will start identifying the most important details and recording them in the comparison chart accessible below: <span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">Students should embed their completed chart in their online notebook.

Students should add additional/new details in a different color as they are debriefed aloud.

<span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">THEN students should go back to their Prediction from the beginning of the class and assess whether or not they were right. What additional things did they learn through reading, marking up, and completing the Details chart? Write the answers on the same page in their wiki and label it: //Revisit Prediction//.

Write, “Do Now” and answer the following question:

//<span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook','serif';">Describe the differences between the Northern colonial economies and the Southern colonial economies. Identify what each has to offer in the way of goods and natural resources.

Students will be called up to the front of the room to add their mark ups to the class map. Teacher and students will focus on the title, the key, the colors, captions, etc. Students will have a copy of the map open in Microsoft Word and will be following along with the mark up on their laptop. When completed, all students will upload the file of the image in their virtual notebook on the Triangular Trade page. Teacher will model this process from the front board.

<span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">Then students should then link the following interactive map of the Triangular Trade Route into their virtual notebook as additional information: <span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">[] =**__<span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook','serif';">Guided Practice & Independent Work __**<span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">: = = = <span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">Students will use Glogster to describe the Triangular Trade Route. Their glog (at the least) should include visuals and text. Students should describe the trade route, why it is often referred to as a web, and why it was significant using their Glog.

//**DIRECTIONS FOR CREATING A GLOG**// __//Step 1//__ Open the following link in a new tab: Glogster.com Scroll down to the bottom of the front page to read what Glogster is and what you can create with it. Basically, this is a digital way to create a poster, using pictures, text, music, and videos. __//Step 2//__ Scroll back up to the top right and click on Register. Register and create an account. Your nickname should be your first name and the first letter of your last name, the same as it is on your virtual notebooks. Ex) GeorgeW __//Step 3//__ You will be brought to a page called "My Dashboard." You will not do anything with this page right now. Click back to the the home page of Glogster __//Step 4//__ Before you create your own glog, spend some time searching through the site and looking at examples. Search through the best and fresh glogs for today. At the top of the page, click on "Categories" and search through the "Movers and Shakers" as well as the "School" category. __//Step 5//__ Now click on "Create your own glog" and begin! Have fun, be creative. Your glog will demonstrate what you have learned about the Supreme Court from this week. Use the editing tools on the left hand side of the page __//Step 6//__ Once you have created your glog, click on "save and Publish." Name your glog, and tag it for school. __//Step 7//__ Next you will be asked "What next?" You will save your link to your notebook, and also email a copy to yourself. Lastly, you will link your glog to the Glog page on the website below: __//Step 8//__ After everyone has posted their glogs, you will look at the glogs of the other students at your table.

Here is an example of a Glog from another Project:

<span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook','serif';">When completed, students should visit the wikis of at least two other students and comment on their Glog in the Discussion Tab. They should praise one aspect and give at least one suggestion for improvement. = = =**__<span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook','serif';">Closure-Sharing/Debriefing/Assessment __**<span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">: = = = <span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">Students should use Today’s Meet to complete a 3-2-1. <span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">[] **<span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook','serif'; font-size: 19px;">Day 3: ** =**__<span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook','serif';">Preview/Do Now __****<span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook','serif';">: **= = = <span style="font-family: 'century schoolbook','serif';">Students should open their online notebooks so that they have access to their pages on the colonial economies and also on triangular trade. ||
