Notes should reflect:

•POV: What are the central ideas?  What does the author want you to know, think, and believe?

•Evidence: How can you tell what the author wants you to know, think, and believe?  What does the text say specifically?  What can you quote to help build an argument? What numerical or statistical data does the author provide to support her/his claims?

•Connections: How does this connect to the unit’s essential question?  How does this connect to the concepts of industrialization, immigration, education, and/or WWI that were discussed in class. How does this text connect to other texts?  How can you use this text to support a claim or counter-claim you will make in an upcoming essay? 

•Reflections: What most surprised you?  What confirmed something you already believed?  Discuss.
