Summary of Class 10/22-10/23

Yesterday during class, we watched animations on the computer as we talked and took notes on the Revolutionary War. We touched upon the battles between the Americans and the British after the Declaration of Independence was announced on July 4th. We talked about the clever tactics that George Washington used to beat out the opponents like setting fires where there was only a couple of soldiers to lead Britain in the wrong way. We then talked about the Crisis by Thomas Paine and how George Washington read it to his troops. We gave our opinion on whether or not we think that mens souls are being tried. With this opinion, we backed it up with one or more points or examples. Today in class, we got in partners or groups based on numbers that we were assigned. One person from each group was to have a QR code scanner. We were then assigned to go about the bottom floor of the school and scan each one we saw, writing down the questions as we went. When we got back to the class, we had to figure out what the battle that answered the question was called and the date that it occurred.
