Period 1 and 2
We discussed our comparisons of the strengths and weaknesses of the British vs the Colonists going into the Revolutionary War. We weighted three categories of our choice, and then compared the results. We think we found a way for the Colonists to actually win!
We took notes from a powerpoint on Chapter 7.1 -
For LA, we practiced reading out loud with expression, and discussed character development.
Remember the important due dates for next week! Reading Projects are due on Tuesday!
Period 3
Debates with Mr. Butler today!
Period 5 and 6
We discussed propaganda and Thomas Paine's Common Sense. We re-wrote some passages in our own words, and then analyzed the selections for the use of propaganda (using pages R24-24 in our literature books). Lots of good thinking and analysis!
Those who ended up with 6 correct answers for the Geo Bee were: Shayna Dieken, Rachel Catterall, and Brian Callans. If I missed anyone, or if you think you answered six correctly, see me on Monday! Remember: Reading Projects are due on Tuesday and reading pages are due Wednesday!
Have a great weekend!
