Do Now (Voice Level 0) 5 minutes: 
Objective form. Write down today's objectives in your own words. What are the activities you will be completing? How do you know whether or not you were successful?

Whole Group (Voice Level 0) 15 minutes: 
Introduction to New England Colonies. 




Independent (Voice Level 0) 40 minutes: 
Task 1: Choose between these two Achieve Articles:

**Make sure you are completing the first four tabs, including summarizing every paragraph that is over 2 sentences. You can summarize in bullet point format! I check all summaries and will give you an NP if you do not complete them, no matter what you got on the activity!**

- You only need to summarize paragraphs that are more than two sentences! You may write your summaries as bullet points for my class. 

- Achieve articles are summative grades. You cannot get higher than an NP if you did not summarize. In order to complete a "makeup Achieve" you need to also complete all 4 tabs and the summaries on your makeup article as well. 

Task 2: Watch this video on the colonies. 

Collaborative (Voice Level .5 - 1) 40 minutes: 
Task 2: Write a narrative of a New England colonist on a piece of lined paper.  


Exit Ticket (Voice Level 0) 5 minutes: 
Objective self-reflection form. Did you meet all of the objectives for today? What are you going to do to make sure you meet them before the next class? 

You cannot leave class if you did not: Score at least 75% on the Achieve article & write at least one paragraph of your narrative story. 

Homework: 
Finish your narrative stories! These are due Wednesday.
