14 & 15 May

We started our last set of starters today - Explain one way that technology influenced the Civil War.

We read an Encyclopedia Brown mystery today and then played the Impossible Test game.  The questions that you created are worth 16 points.

We then looked at the strengths and weaknesses of the north and of the south.  We also looked at the North's plan to win the war, and the South's plan.

Two interesting videos in the news today - the first shows the repairs that are currently being made to the Washington Monument.  The second shows the topping-off of the new World Trade Center building.
