Images as Evidence

We finished the in class evaluation of the eighteen images. he task was to identify whether the images provides evidence of living up to one of the fives ideals mentioned in the Deceleration of Independence (democracy, opportunity, liberty, rights, equality). The example was a fill in the blank statement that read -

Placard ___ about  ___________ exemplifies the success/failure (choose one) of the American ideal of _________ because _____________________________________ .

Those placards can be viewed here or here. The responses will be used as evidence for the persuasive essay we will be working on in class.


We also went to the computer lab and set-up a Google Document for every student that was then shared with Mr. Williams at his Google account (fstopmm@gmail.com). Each student shared a document that was titled as their name (first and last). It was shared with Mr. Williams so he had comment rights but not edit rights.

We will use that one Google Document for all essays so no future sharing or document creation is necessary.
