Greetings! As I let you all know earlier this week, I'm going to be in and out of class, pending my responsibilities during Site Seminar. Because of this, today's post will be particularly detailed, to cover me in case I miss a specific part of your class today.

Step 1
First thing's first - make sure you turn in the things that are due today to the INBOX. This includes the following... [5 minutes]
1) A second draft of your #PleaseVote letter (can also be submitted via digital share)
2) Yesterday's Work
     a. Your group's completed poster
     b. The script of what you shared
     c. Your individual notes from the presentations (11.4 & 11.5)

Step 2
Depending on your section, read the directions for your research project. If there are any questions, work to resolve them as a group. [5 minutes]

Step 3
Spend 10 to 15 minutes (please, at least a FULL TEN MINUTES) doing some basic research on some of the individuals listed on your task sheet. Wikipedia can be your friend for this, don't tell on me. Select your top 3 to 5 people you're interested in researching (take into consideration how many sources and the types of sources listed on the wikipeda - this should help you red flag people there may not be a substantial amount of information on). I don't want repeats in the same class, so you might not get a person you chose. Please be flexible - all of these people are important and played key roles in the Civil Rights Movement.

Step 4
As a class, go through the list of people together. Assign people based on preference, use rock-paper-scissors 2 out of 3 to break ties.

Step 5
Begin with your preliminary research by gathering sources that you evaluate as being authentic. Once you have 5-7 unique digital sources, begin reading and gathering information based on assignment requirements.
