Students,
Alright so today we finished the road to revolution notes that we started yesterday we examined all the neat-o taxes and policies that King George III imposed on the colonies. You will have a "break" tomorrow and be able to sit back and enjoy a film on the revolution of course there will be an assignment associated with it, but it will be pretty low stakes. PPT linked below.

Students,
Today we started walking the Road to Revolution, by examining French and Indian war. We talked about how this conflict brought to the forefront the societal differences of the British and the American colonists and created friction between the two parties that would eventually (13 years later) snowball into the American Revolution. Below see copies of the PPT

Students,
I apologize for the late upload, but here are the enlightenment notes from yesterday.
They are pretty simple and straightforward with the most important slide for the course being the last slide considering how the enlightenment effected the colonies.
You missed out on great discussion if you were gone.

Today we looked at how we write thesis for my class when a prompt is provided, and for my Dual Credit students we briefly discussed what was important when you are writing a thesis that is not inspired by a prompt. Remember both cases are dependent on the fact that you are making an argument!
For simplicity sake and in my class you are more than welcome to use the formula
X. a, b, c, Y. (and on occasion Z)
X= counter argument
{abc}= support
Y= your argument
Z= time frame or audience (restrictions of the prompt)
your tests were abysmal...we addressed this today.

How did they make their money? these were just a few of the questions we took a look at. We implemented a 1- 3 - 6 protocol to make sure the vast amount of information was shared with everyone. Below is the graphic organizer we used. If you were absent, you can fill in the chart from the web, or you should feel free to drop by my tutorials (3:30 - 4:00) to get time with the books.

Today we took at look at colonial life between 1607 and 1770 this broad time period is full of developments that play into large historical events further down the road (i.e. The American Revolution and the Civil War)
Geography and culture played a big part in the formation of the character of these colonies and it was those aspects that we took a closer look at today. Power point below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Br2RBwz0R7RTAxaW5JaWFGZUk/edit?usp=sharing
also there was a quiz, so if you were absent you will need to come make that up ASAP!
