Now that we've finished talking about the Constitution, we've moved forward (or backwards?) to the American Revolution. Once the bell rang after the quest on Thursday, we jumped with both feet into our first homework assignment - questions based around a serious of maps of the colonies.
To start off class on Friday, we went over it and reviewed which colonies were in which group. This turned out to be important information, seeing as next we we were put into groups to make a "voki" for a person from each section. However, once we realized that Voki wasn't working on iPods or iPhones, most of us ended up drawing them. Their personalities came complete with jobs, religions, everything that represented the people with lived in New England, the Middle, and the South.
Today, we went more in depth in the very beginning of animosity between England andthe colonies with the French and Indian War. We read a loud the sheet he gave us and talked about why our friend George Washington wanted to move west.
It was to get more land for tobacco farming, in case you were wondering.
