Class Update: 10/2 & 10/3

This week, our class has transitioned into the American Revolution Unit. Yesterday, we were handed a reading on the French and Indian War. In groups, we read the handout, stopping occasionally to review with the class. We took notes on the reasons why farming colonists wanted to expand their land westward for their crops, and the opening battles. Our class headed to the library today in preparation for the EdCafe tomorrow. With two other students, we created Google Presentations on our EdCafe event. I found this especially helpful to review the key facts of the event. I was surprised to learn in the reading that the delegates at the Constitutional Convention considered living under the control of a British monarch to increase safety. I'm glad that idea was not selected!
