Read Critically and Closely and R.A.F.T

Read closely and critically the article, Amid Backlash, Colorado Board Rethinks U.S. History Review.  Your text should provide evidence of a close read.

Participate in Save the Last Word for Me.  Pick a line from the text.  Share that line with group members.  Only share the line.  Do not provide explanation.  Each person in the group will share his/her thinking about the line.  When it is your turn to speak, provide a clear explanation for choosing your passage.  Listen to others and provide thoughtful comments.

Pick a RAFT and be ready to share.  Think about word choice.
