How Should We Remember Toussaint Louverture?

That is the focus of our DBQ.  DBQs are great for your brain.  They force you to pull stuff out of the storage portion of your brain and meld it with the newly analyzed documents in front of you and create an evidence based essay, where you use the data you extrapolated and analyzed into a knock your socks off essay.  Holy Higher Level of Thinking, Batman! 

So, today we looked at the background information.  Combine this with your notes from the video yesterday AND what you smart kids already know about the other revolutions to start putting this puzzle together, piece by piece.  You got this.  

Here is the handout that you are responsible for by tomorrow. 

When you come to class tomorrow, we will be going through the documents one at a time in order to make sure that you understand them and are ready to do the pre-writing activities over the weekend.  

You got this!  Your reading and writing skills are soaring with all this hard work!  It will pay off!!  See me if you have any questions - hit me up on Twitter, FB or by email.

Happy Hump Day!
