Hey Hey!     You have an email to your student address (076-).  You will need access to that address to access the Microsoft Teams invite you will get next week (or tonight if I’m productive).

So figure out how to use Microsoft Office (and especially teams) because I am learning that currently.  Fire me off a reply so i know you have access to the school email (your log in is prolly the same as your library log in password).

We will continue and improve.  Today we all need someone to lean on, so call on me brother if you need a hand…

Today we talked about the causes of the French Revolution.  We looked at the Three Estates and lack of equality.  CausesofFrenchRevolution

Timelines should already be Emailed to me.  The link to your edublog is perfect.  Attaching the document is A okay.  Bringing a USB stick in or letting me grade it on your computer at lunch is even acceptable.  But it needs to be posted for Digital Literacy.

This is the WORD DOCUMENT you took notes off of  (so most likely info to appear on any AM REV unit test).

We have started working on the big american timelines.  Remember to site your sources and comment and reflect on your choices.  Still to come a big lecture on the path  to revoluton and a break down of the Declaration of Independence.  We did a battles lecture, and vocab words from the textbook.

Timelines are due Monday March 2nd (not this week like the original hand out stated)

Today we watched a movie from the series “A Story of us” it was episode 2: Revolution.  It walks us through some major events in the American War of Independence.  Tomorrow Mr Basso will be in the room talking about program options for the timeline.  Monday will be a “Battles” Lecture.

 

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.

 

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. . ,
