Great job to Hannah on earning her Declaration of Independence ribbon! What a good example to the rest of us to show that memorizing that document is NOT so impossible after all!
Thanks to Eliana for all the good information about the militias and minutemen, and also for the battle game. Who knew straws and cotton swabs cold be so much fun? This week's presentations will be given by Emma on famous women of the war, and we'll have a make-up presentation by Isaac on the roles of tories, loyalists, Hessians, and red coats in the war.
Your opinion paper this week is a fun one: Write a letter home as if you were someone who lived in the colonial period. This one is wide open--you could be a soldier, a delegate to the Congress, a loyalist colonist, a British general, a slave, or one of many other options. Have fun with this one, and don't forget the details!
Keep working hard on your award requirements, and we'll let you know soon the date for our upcoming battle with the Sword of Freedom class. See you all Thursday!
P.S. Here's a link to the video we started watching last week:
