Early Finishers: Complete any missing work you may have, read silently, work on Achieve, or watch this video.
We will be working on the background essay and Doc A/B of the Valley Forge DBQ. We will work to answer the question of whether or not you would have quit the Continental Army if you were a soldier at this infamous battle.
After we annotate and go over the documents together, you need to work with your table groups to answer the questions.
At the end of this station, reflect on the objective you just worked to complete. On your paper you need to write whether or not you met the objective AND how you know this. For example, "Yes, I met the objective because I was able to annotate and I am confident I answered at least 8 of the 9 questions correctly."
