//platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsLet’s start collecting digital assets that will enhance our study of colonial literature.

Instead, I am impressed with your work so far for remember US History trends and ideas from last year, and leveraging those insights to dive deeper into our essential questions for this unit as well as the year.

Keep up the great work! Simply annotate your link in the comment thread. In other words, compose 3-4 sentences in Standard English that explains the value on your link to our unit’s goals. Also reflect on the source itself. Is it an educational site? When was the information last updated? What else should you consider when you check a source’s value?
