Buon Giorno!

Warm-Up! (Using your snazzy new-ish notebook)

The Hero

Compare and Contrast
  • The log of Christopher Colombus (Handout A)
  • Christopher Columbus, Mariner, by Samuel Eliot Morison (Handout A)

And, again, because it's our first SC, you will be grading yourself using this rubric so you can see how you're doing and if you're meeting standards. Please review it and be honest when grading yourself. These are the standards you will be trying to achieve over the course of the year and what I will be looking for when grading. It is important you fill out your document analysis chart to help provide me with this information.

...Tomorrow:
To finish preparing for our first structured controversy (SC)
To have our first structured controversy (SC)
