Today started with an interesting lecture about Data Based Questions. We were able to walk through an assignemnt (mush faster then a normal lesson) and get the hang of using them. I gained some great ideas on how to get my kids to uwse primary sources and maybe even write about them!
After lunch we split up and walked parts of Chicago. I was lucky enough to go on the old city tour that took us through a historical section of the city. There were reminders of the Great Chicago Fire and many beautiful pieces of arcitecture. When we wrapped that up we dropped things by the dorms and a few of us headed into Greektown! We enjoyed some wonderful Greek cuisine then went to the Sears Tower. The view was really amazing and I was able to get some good pictures for my lesson plan.

Why didn’t you bring back the sign for Feme? Her needs it! I think it would have been great to see your face on the top of the Sears tower! I like all the pictures so far, hey did you send the link to Jenny? I think she would like to see it, especially the arctitecture. See you soon!
