HWC Day 3 - Critical Thinking, Collaboration, & Presentation Creation

Objectives:  Identify the characteristics of collaboration and a critical thinker.  Define history and the social sciences as they will be utilized in HWC.

Task:  As you arrive to class, please get out a piece of paper for note-taking.  We'll spend the first portion of class considering the process and importance of critical thinking.  Also, as we begin our first collaborative project, we'll discuss the ethics of learning and the differences between collaboration, cooperation, and copying.

You'll spend the remainder of class with your collaborative group creating your presentation.  Please remember:

1. While you're working in your groups, I'll come around to check for the completion of your Primer notes.
2. Be sure to share both the GooglePresentation and GoogleDoc script with Mrs. Friday.  For the title, follow the naming format described on the project description.
3. The GooglePresentation will be shared with your classmates to be used as a study tool.  Where necessary, include details in the notes section of your Presentation. 
4. For Monday's presentation, please use notecards (not paper) to support your presentation.
5. This is the only class time you'll have to work on this project.  Anything not completed today must be completed on your own time.
