Yesterday in class we sat and watched a video on artist and their art. All the art that we looked at had to do with the American Revolution. It was Interesting to see the different kinds of art about scenes from that war. Today in class we took the memorization quiz. We also took notes on the final events of the Revolutionary war and the treaty that followed it.

On Monday I was absent so I do not what we did in class. I heard that we Just talked about the Revolutionary war. Today we did an activity going around the school finding about ten battles of the Revolutionary war. We had a short summary of the battle and had to find out the date and name of the battle. It was a fun activity.

Today we had a sub and she made us read a document about Thomas Paine and then write a 5 paragraph essay. I think that it was too much work to be doing with a substitute. Then last class we got into groups and shared what part of the Declaration of Independence we had to summarize. Also we had a discussion on why was Brutus from the book Julius Caesar okay with a verbal contract and the colonist not.

In last class we listened to the presentation of people important to the American revolution. I learned a lot about the people as my classmates presented them, that I never knew. Also the drawing were really good. Today in class we matched up with people who had the correct term or definition to one another and summarized a part of the Declaration of Independence. Then we created a fake tweet of the summary on Twister. (Here is the link) http://krunchd.com/ac7

Yesterday in class today we learned about the different views of the colonist and what they thought about the British. Some thought that Britain should stay out of their problems and leave them alone. Then others think that British should give them more freedoms but still stay in control. Last class we learned about the Battle of lexington and concord and bunker hill and how the Americans fighting tactics of getting high ground were better than the British, and the british lost a lot more men then the Americans did.

Friday in class we talked about the events of american revolt against British acts that were created to control them and pay for war. Then we listened to a poem about Paul reavers ride to alert people about the British. In class today we learned about how eyewitnesses can be very off on what they say about an issue. Like how a kid who was accused of a shooting could not have possibly done it. We learned about how people who reported the first shooting of the revolution did not have the same response the americans said the british shot first and the British said the Americans shot first.

Today in class we did the edcafe discussion. I learned a lot about what the Boston tea party and Boston massacre were really about. Then last class we worked in groups in the computer lab. We created power points on our edcafe topic, and mine was the about the massacre.

In class we went over the thirteen colonies. Then we did a recording of what we thought that the average colonist of the northern, middle, and southern colonies. In class today we went over the reading of George Washington and the french indian war. Learned what part George Washington had on it.
