5 & 8 November

Our starter for today was: "When you get home today there is a knock on the door.  It is the military forcing you and your family to leave your house - you will never be able to return home again.  How would you feel?  What would you do?"

We used this starter as a springboard for our discussion on The French and Indian War and the Proclamation of 1763.

At the end of the day we each created 5 questions and answers of our own choice for a game we will play next time.  These questions should not be true/false or multiple choice and they should be difficult (this will make our game more fun to play!).  This is called "The Impossible Test" - don't worry, it is a game, not a test.  I will give you points for creating the test questions.

We also turned in our Colony Simulations today.  These are worth a a lot of points and will go to zero on Tuesday.  Make sure that you complete the map, flag and 1 page write-ups for full points!
