We're revisiting Determining Importance this week by doing a Textmapping
project using a short book about the Trail of Tears. The groups were actively
engaged in determining importance like I've never seen them before. Today we
highlighted text features like italics and bold print. Tomorrow we will
highlight names of people, places, and geographic features (rivers, lakes,
mountains, etc.). Friday we are going to highlight the problems encountered by
the Cherokee, and the solutions, if any. Then we are going to create story bags
using icons the students will create to signify their own imaginary journey
along the Trail of Tears.
