Learning Activity 3-D-2: Local Documents, Data, and Cartoons
5 Resources for my project that I found this week are:

A good primary document on early country schools and teacher expectations that is written easy enough for fourth graders is an eBook __Slate and Blackboard Exercises__, William Alcott, New York, 1843 at [|http://books.google.com/books?id=VO1m6abELKYC&pg=PA5&dq=Slate+And+Black+Board+Exercises,+William+Alcott,+New+York,+1843&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eL5jT7XNNaXq0gGxjoXBCA&][|ved=0CDsQuwUwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false]
 * Mrs. Burgmeier’s blog has a good cartoon about a student and teacher in front of a blackboard. Teacher is saying, “There aren’t any icons to click. It’s a chalk board.” I can use this to compare/contrast with images of the one-room school blackboard and today’s computers in class. []
