Monday: Eleanor Roosevelt and the Purpose of Education

Today I described the last part of the Brain Gain unit: a written assessment and a class discussion on the last three texts (#7, #8, and #9).  *remember that there are copies of these texts in our shared google doc folder.

Then, we read alound Text #7 "Good Citizenship: The Purpose of Education" by Eleanor Roosevelt.

Our guiding question is: What is Eleanor Roosevelt's attitude toward education/learning?

and

Wbat information/ideas are described in detail?
What do the author's words cause me to see or feel?

We highlighted/underlined any strong opinions or CLAIMS in the essay, and circled any keywords that we thought were important or that we didn't know.  We also tried writing notes in the margins, putting brackets around multiple sentences that worked together as evidence or example.
