The illustrated storyline was collected.
The Civil War Story assignment was handed out and explained. Students need to look at the VoiceThread on Mr. Titzel's American Cultures 2.0 Blog and choose a picture to center their short story around. The story needs to be based in the Civil War, have a twist or irony, and have a point or moral. The Story will be due on Monday, May 19th.
The class was divided into 4 groups. Each group was given a sentence from Ambrose Bierce's short story An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge. The group then silently collaborated in writing a short story from the given sentence. The story had to have a beginning, middle, and an end; a twist or surprise; and a point or moral. This is practice for students before they write their Civil War Short Story.

Welcome to Mr. Titzel's American Cultures Class Scribe Blog
The purpose of American Cultures Class Scribe is to have students in my class post detailed class notes and summaries from each day's class. This Scribe Blog can be used by students in numerous ways:
-Check in to see what was missed when absent
-Study for quizzes and tests
-Use technology for learning
-Comment on a day's class with questions or to continue a class discussion
The idea for American Cultures Class Scribe came from other classes around the world that use a class scribe blog. Check out The Scribe Post Hall of Fame for excellent examples of scribe posts.
