12 & 13 January

We began a new set of starters that will be graded during third term.  Today's starter was a little more lengthy: What are the "unalienable rights?"  Where do these rights come from?  Why do governments exist?  Where do governments get their power?

We briefly discussed the recent Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primaries - their purpose and the results.

We read an Encyclopedia Brown short story.

We then looked at the strengths and weaknesses of the Patriot and British armies during the Revolutionary War.  We also worked to finish oir Revolutionary War Packets and the Revolutionary Battle summary.

We began a summary video of the War.
