Alexander the Great? Day 2

Happy Friday! Hope you are able to enjoy the beautiful colors of Fall this weekend! Today we discussed the partner work from yesterday which was about the character traits of a great leader. Today we talked about what character traits would make a weak leader and put in interactive notebook on page 192. Students then read with their partners chapter 30 adding new notes about Alexander and evidence of traits making him a great leader or a weak leader. We discussed some of them at the end of class, but some students didn't finish in class and will have to finish over the weekend. Monday we will view primary source documents on Alexandar and add to our graphic organizer new information in preparation for our essay on Tuesday.
Homework:  Complete reading chapter 30 and fill in handout, possible Edmodo video push
