Reflection:: Reading for meaning serves as an opportunity for students to do research in the classroom, and build critical reading skills. Students first will engage with an excerpt read aloud and reflect in a journal. Then while working in small groups, students will access primary sources and artifacts to actively search and predict using information available to them. This activity serves as a great reinforcement of content from the textbook.
