EXAMPLE: 
Close Read page 563
Annotate: Highlighted Lines 52-56
Question: I understand that Odysseus wants to convey the wonder that he and his men felt. It seemed that the enemy army hadn't assembled; it had materialized. Odysseus and his men took it as a sign that they had fallen out of grace with Zeus. They were terrified of the mass army of Cicones.
Conclude: I think by using these words, Odysseus shows how threatening the enemy appeared to him and his men and how terrifying the future looked behind this vast army. Odysseus and his men knew that they were doomed.

A. "Discovering Angel Island: The Story Behind the Poems" - Watch the video ONLY for your own knowledge!!
From 1910 to 1940, tens of thousands of immigrants entered the United States through the West Coast's Angel Island Immigration Station. Located in San Francisco's north bay, not far from Alcatraz Island, the buildings were nearly forgotten and their history practically lost, until one day Alexander Weiss, a California State Park Ranger, re-discovered them in 1970. His chance discovery began the long journey to save the Immigration Station, and ultimately, to save the stories hidden within it, and to help us remember its sad, but important role in American history.

B. "Chapter 1 | The Chinese Exclusion Act" - Watch the video ONLY for your own knowledge!!
Examine the origin, history and impact of the 1882 law that made it illegal for Chinese workers to come to America and for Chinese nationals already here ever to become U.S. citizens.
