BernieD [to Scott [guest]]: "I look at my millenial generation 12 year
old and I have no fears of passivity."

Scott [guest] says, "Let's see another"

SueMR says, "ready"

davidjb [guest] says, "ready"

BernieD says, "The next one deals with a topic that other quests have
covered: the similarities between the Salem Witch trials
and the McCarthy era."

ChristinaW says, "Go for it."

BernieD says, "However, since we were focusing on scaffolding in the
advanced class, this one does a great job of filling in a
lot of missing pieces."

BernieD projects aug09p.

SueMR says, "Great intro. Should grab the student's attention"

BernieD says, "I'm happiest with the Process. That's where all the
scaffolding is."

Scott [guest] says, "Process looks very good"

BernieD says, "She has a link to a tip sheet on journal writing."

JamesBS asks, "So, you have the choice of the Witchcraft Trials or the
McCarthy Senate Hearings?"

Scott [guest] says, "Evaluation rubric needs more specifics"

BernieD says, "You work on a team in which you cover one or the other,
but you're writing together at each point."

JamesBS asks, "Does this draw connections between the two?"

KerryH says, "I think the way the outline is layed out for the students
is incredible. It will make the process so much easier"

JeffC says, "Nice site.. I'm wondering if they expect the students to
find all the links themselves. Or if there is any mention
in class about Miller's "The Crucible.""

BernieD says, "Notice that by having the kids write each day of the
journal with specific events, they're having to think
about the parallels between the two eras on an ongoing
basis rather than saving it all up until the end."

CarmenLR says, "I outline is geared for success. I like the specifics
about journal entries and journal tips"

BernieD [to JeffC]: "Actually, this is intended as a followup to the
Crucible."
