Periods 5 and 6
We discussed the Revolutionary War period in our table groups, concentrating on seven important questions; we shared our conclusions with the group,and saw the different perspectives held by classmates. After this, we completed a reading in our daybooks (pgs. 87-91) and discussed where exactly a thesis could be located in a piece of persuasive writing.
