Tax Timeline and Chapter 6 Quiz Prep

Great job in class today!  Everyone seems to be off to a good start on their CFA project.  Tomorrow we will continue working on the project and whatever is not finished will be homework for Friday.

My plan tomorrow is to work on our project and take our quiz over Chapter 6 Sections 1 and 2.  If we are not ready for the quiz I will push it back to Friday.  Either way here are flashcards for you to go through in preparation for the quiz.  Email me if you have any questions, otherwise good luck studying!

Join or Die

Today we analyzed Ben Franklin's "Join or Die" cartoon from an issue of the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1754.  The image itself was a metaphor for the necessity of the 13 Colonies to come together in times of conflict.  At the time it was an attempt to join in the fight against the French.  By 1765, however, it became a rallying cry for the Sons of Liberty and other revolutionaries wanting to break away from English rule.

You were given the task of creating a political cartoon or a recruiting poster for the Sons of Liberty.  You needed to create an image or symbol that could be used as a metaphor for the message "Join or Die."  This is due on Monday.

Have a great weekend!

French and Indian War

Today we wrapped up our French and Indian War Map.  Students detailed a timeline of events that took place during the war and showed on a map where those events took place.  When they were finished students were assigned to complete the 'French and Indian War Crossword Puzzle'.  Below is an attached copy.

Also students were given their assignment P. 136: Review Questions 1-10.  This is due on Wednesday, but there was time in most classes for students to get a start today.

*Remember our Chapter 5 Test is on Thursday*
