Day 5 and 6
On Friday we took notes on battles in the beginning of the Rvolutionaru war. We learned how George Washington escaped from the British several times. Monday we had a scavenger hunt around the downstairs of the school. I thought this activity was extremely fun because of the competitive edge. Competing for extra points made the activity that much better. It was really fun getting to run around the school looking for the right we codes. Overall the last two days have been a great experience in learning about the revolution.

Day 3 and 4
On Wednesday we broke into two groups and we shared our information we pulled out from our article on the Decleration of Independence. This was good but it got noisy and almost became competitive to see who could be the most obnoxious. Then Thursday we had a sub and we wrote an essay on whether we believed we are still in, " times that try men's souls". I believe we are because of the war in Iraq for their independence.
Day 1 and 2
Monday we presented our "guests" in class. Overall I thought that it went well. I had a good time learning about the other students people and their history in the American Revolution. Tuesday, we broke up into groups of three and we read different parts of the Decleration of Independence. Then we had to make a twister tweet using 140 characters to describe our section. I thought that was fun creating a unique username and #'s.
