Before I enlighten you about the events of today's bloodbath history class, it looks like I'm going to have to summarize the day before.
We walked in to class that day ready to whine and complain about our "Crisis" reading that had rendered us stumped the day before. Before we jumped into what we had planned, he went over the main ideas of the article and asked us once again; "are these really the times that try men's souls?" Most of us who had said 'yes' originally were reconsidering.
The rest of class we spent going over some of the important battles of the Revolution. We took notes on the Battle of New York and Trenton, watching the same online demonstrations that we used for Lexington and Concord. Am I really forced to reiterate how I feel about them?
Today, we went up the scale from normal to, uh, well, see the title. We had a scavenger hunt across the whole school, and we were split up into groups with the people who had devices. You would have thought we were in the QR-code scanning Olympics.
Once we got all the questions - which related to the battles, of course - we had to answer which battle it was, along with the date. First to turn it in with all the answers right got extra points.
The only thing that would have made us do it faster was if we got candy.
