prelude to revolution
What was the American revolution about? Taxes? Leadership? Freedom? Equaity? Maybe it was only a war for independence. You may think it was the start of a world wide revolution of freedom and rights. The answer is a bit of everything. Colonists were tired of British Rule and the winds of change were growing. But change was happening. Man was ‘progressing’.
Today you are doing the first four terms in the chapter vocab. And coming up with a short Paragraph on the Royal Proclamation of 1763 on its significance and importance to the American Revolution.
Timeline Intro
Today Mr Basso came to class to discuss digitilal literacy and what you need to do for that credit. This is a timeline project of the American Revolution. You need to explain the events as well as add a picture. The key is being able to choose from different platforms (online programs / media used to create your own work) and communicate why you picked the platform yo did. It will be due in multiple weekends, we will attach a date to it next week. There is lots of learning to do between then and now. . ,
Hieroglyphics
we watched an intro movie on Egypt. Its mostly about who discovered the societies and how the treasures have been dealt with. But a good intro to the long history of Egypt.
In class we looked at hieroglyphics. Bonus marks on last test to anyone who makes one worth putting on my wall! hieroglyph-key
