Quickwrite 3 that went with video clip: •Why do you think there wasn’t a lot more energy or excitement? What do you think was going through their heads? How did the people react differently that were not in Independence Hall?
8/28-Students took their quiz. At the very end of class I spoke briefly on the difficulty and length of the American Revolution in trying to earn our freedom.
8/29-I gave a quick summary of America after the American Revolution. The Articles of the Confederation were week, and prohibited America from really doing anything as a new nation. Shay's rebellion showed that the flaws of the nation needed to be strengthened. We then paired students with a state from 1787 and they began to look at the main arguments of the convention through the eyes of their state. What and why would a state have thought the way it did.
8/30-We began our along the chaparral project, and began looking at somebody buried in Riverside National Cemetary. We will continue this on tuesday next week.
