Things are starting to wind down. Today is your last starter for the year: In your opinion, what are the elements of a really great speech?
We handed in the starters today.
We read an Encyclopedia Brown mystery and then looked at a short video clip on how photographs were made during the Civil War. If you are interested in viewing this clip, follow this link.
We reviewed the Emancipation Proclamation. I then gave you time to wrap up the Civil War assignment - we turned these in today.
We finished the day by looking at the Battle of Gettysburg and reading Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
