1. Look at the audio slideshow - writers crank up the Model T
2. Watch video - guided Tour of Model T
3. Look at the photos...100 years of Model T's
4. Read the article...

Respond to the following in complete sentences:
1. What did you learn about the Model T? (Name at least 5 new facts you learned)
2. What is different from the Original Model T to the 1916 version in the auto slide show?
3. Why was a door not typically on the drivers side of the early Model T (in 1920's it became standard)?
4. What did you learn about America when the Model T was created?
5. How many Model T's are on the road today?


Wednesday and Thursday we'll also discuss PRONOUNS with a grammar quiz Friday as well.

Don't forget...

2. Outside Reading #1 is DUE Thursday October 1st...you need to turn in the books you checked out with me AND you need to bring in your book from home - you'll get your book back with your report next week. If you do not have the book you borrowed from me, you need to replace the book by Thursday, without the book you will get a zero for the assignment, that was our agreement.
