6 & 7 December


Today's starter: What is the purpose of our government?  What does it do?  This is the first of a new set of starters.


We began class with an Encyclopedia Brown mystery - today's was a difficult one.

File:The USS Arizona (BB-39) burning after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor - NARA 195617 - Edit.jpgWe discussed the starter - we will look at the main idea of this starter next week when we look at the Declaration of Independence in depth.

We finished watching Johnny Tremain and we corrected and handed in the questions (at least in the A day classes - B day will turn these in next week).

We also recognized Pearl Harbor Day and briefly reviewed the events of December 7, 1941.
