Today's agenda:
1) Handed back Test #1. I hang onto all of these, but you can come look at them at any time. Before handing them back, always look at how you lost points and remember to not repeat the same mistakes on future tests. If you need help understanding why you didn't do well, please make arrangements to come in and talk with me outside of class! This is very important to do so that you can be successful in this class.
2) Notes ("Toward Independence, 1775-76").
3) Pick Research Paper topics.
4) "February, 1776" Role Play (Prep Day).
--4 groups
--Today you will receive information about your group's point of view on the American Revolution (whether it should be fought or not and why). Read through the info and complete as a group the "Considering Your Option" sheet. Use overhead pens and a transparency to prepare a basic list of info that you will present to the class about what your group believes. Most of the time you are presenting, you will be asked questions from the audience to see how well you can defend your position. Presentations will be Tuesday and Wednesday.
4) Homework: Thomas Barrow reading in Blue Reader ("The American Revolution as a Colonial War for Independence").
