Writing Portfolio
Bellwrite #19: What would indicate that an Internet source is reliable? What would indicate it is unreliable?
We practiced evaluating the reliability of the following Internet sources:
http://webs.bcp.org/sites/vcleary/ModernWorldHistoryTextbook/IndustrialRevolution/IRbegins.html#IRstarts
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090119122854AABAckR
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/0/20979973

We used a handout on CARS (see separate post) to support our evaluations. Then students practiced writing an MLA citation for one of the sources.

Students received notecards and envelopes for creating research folders (optional but recommended).

Core
Bellwrite #20: What does it mean to have good manners? Is etiquette important?

In light of this bellwrite, we discussed the extent to which our culture is formal or casual (in preparation for our Pride and Prejudice dinner).

We finished our experiment with a free market classroom. Students finished studying their overview of the Industrial Revolution and "The Wealth of Nations." They then self-evaluated with a quiz on both topics.

Homework:
Attend the Pride and Prejudice dinner. Enjoy!
