The starter for today was: What do you think of when you hear the word Conquistador?
Mr. Peterson discussed the starter. We then turned in the first set of starters and The First Americans Packet. These have been graded and the scores have been recorded in Skyward. These assignments will receive a "0" grade if they are not turned in by next time. You can still turn them in for full points up until the last day of the term. Also, if you would like to redo the parts of the assignment you did not do well on, you are welcome to. You could get 100% if you would like.
Mr. Peterson finished modern explorers with you and then he had you write a letter to your family as though you were about to embark on a great journey. These are due next time.
Mr. Peterson then discussed Columbus and we read a biographical sketch of Columbus.
We started working on creating a cartoon strip of Columbus' voyages. This will be due the time after next.
