Period 1 and 2
We started the day with a presentation on Colonial Trade and discussed some of the tragedies of the slave trade in the Americas. If you were absent, you will need to view the ppt on Tuesday, during homeroom, or get notes from someone in your class.
Period 2 was spent in the Computer Lab preparing our memoirs for peer editing on Monday.
Period 3 -
Lots of hard work during class today! We completed our first drafts in the computer lab - those that did NOT finish will need to complete their first drafts over the weekend and bring a printed copy to class on Monday! We will be peer editing on Monday, and talking about ways we can make our memoirs even more interesting to read.
Period 5-6
We almost completed our unit on the colonial economy and looked at the way slavery was a part of the system; we looked at some of the travesties of the slave trade.
During 6th period, we worked on our memoirs in the lab, some of us completed peer editing, others kept working on their writing. We will complete peer editing on Monday with our final essays due by next Friday.
