=Students to collaboratively analyze primary sources on Edmodo=

2) I will upload a choice of primary sources for the students to analyze. 3) Students will go through the choice and pick one to go through SOAPSTone 4) After students post, they need to go back to another student's analysis and look for ways for them to go deeper in their understanding of the primary source. 5) I want students then to take this information and then write a paragraph on topic, using the primary sources as facts to support their argument. || Please identify opportunities for differentiation. There are some that struggle with writing in my academic classes ||
 * **Title**: ||< Analyze Sources by commenting to teacher prompts ||
 * **Subject**: ||< US History ||
 * **Grade**: ||< Juniors + ||
 * **Time Frame**: ||< Would like to try this at least once this last six weeks. It will take a half of a class period to get the students onto Edmodo. ||
 * **Summary:** ||< I will take some primary sources and post them in the Edmodo library and students will be required to go online and use the SOAPSTone model to analyze. ||
 * **Tasks**: ||< 1) Student will go online to Edmodo and register their account.
 * They need to choose to comment on another student's choice that is different from one they analyzed.
 * I will address the "So What? Now What?" when the students need something to comment on.
 * Objectives: ||< * What TEKS or other objectives does this activity/lesson project meet? ||
 * Assessment: ||< How will you assess the students learning? I plan on giving students credit for posting on Edmodo - so that should be a manageable grade for the students to earn. I would then like for them to use the primary sources to write about a historical event, and make an argument using their sources as evidence.
 * Resources: ||< * Access to the internet with iPads or netbooks so that student can go onto Edmodo to do the activity.
 * If students can't do this at home, they are free to come into my room in the morning or use the library to access the internet to do the assignment.
 * Students might need copies of the SOAPSTone to do their analysis. That can be uploaded as a document in Edmodo.
 * Would like to explore other APPS to add to the iPads so that students can easily access documents.
