Hi All,
Hope the weekend is great. A reminder of where we are right now:

We have been working on map and text analysis to understand the cultural and economic differences in the colonies and early states leading up to independence and drafting the Constitution. We will finish reviewing this work in class on Monday before continuing with our work on the events that led to revolt and independence in the British Colonies.
NO HOMEWORK THIS WEEKEND.

Constitutional Map and Text Analysis
Hi All,
Today, students used maps, atlases, and texts to understand some of the context in which the colonies and early states established independence and drafted the Constitution. Issues of slavery and class differences were examined today, and we will finish this work together later in the week. From there, we will have a better understanding of how our country came to be, to whom what rights were extended, and how our country has evolved in the last 235 years.
No homework tonight - just an appreciation of the discourse so far.
