16 & 17 April

Today's starter was: List the 3 worst things that you think are going on in the world today.  If you could fix one wrong thing going on in the world today, what would it be?  Why did you choose that one?

We watched a short video review/preview or where we have gone in history and where we plan to go.

We read a passage from our collection of historical graphic novel segments titled "Strangers on a Train."  This passage compares the north to the south as seen through the eyes of a Portuguese visitor named Vitor. 

We then worked on The North and The South assignment.  Once done with that, we wrote a possible ending to "Strangers on a Train."
