3. Some students will need to finish or take the US Constitution test today.


1. We’ll be in the iMac lab online looking at the primary source maps and journals of Lewis and Clark. Students will be analyzing the maps and journal entries for two specific sections of the journey.
 1. Students present their findings from yesterday to the class.  What do the primary journals tell us about the struggles and successes of this incredible journey that a textbook could not?
