INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY
Lesson Chronicles - Answering the Essential Question

A Lesson Chronicles Activity is an individual activity where you prove that you accomplished the lesson mission.  Lesson Chronicles require you to keep a notebook or journal with a table of contents.  Each entry should be dated.  First, you write the lesson mission.  Then you prove you "can do" whatever the mission says by answering the essential question of the lesson in PQA format.  Remember PQA format means "Put the Question in the Answer".

DIRECTIONS:  Work by yourself to prove you have completed today's mission successfully by answering the essential question for today.
