Students,
Today we took a different approach to group work and got our creative juices flowing. We are creating propaganda posters for different conflicts that had a major impact on colonial development. Including; King PHillips War, the English Civil War, Bacon's Rebellion, and the Glorious Revolution.
We came together as groups did our due research and created fantastical posters that delight all who gaze upon them. We will continue this activity tomorrow.
just a reminder you have homework that is due on Wednesday September 16th click the link below for details.

Students.
Today we continued to examine the founding of the original colonies. Who started them? Why did they bother to do so? 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.

Students,
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

also there was a quiz, so if you were absent you will need to come make that up ASAP!
