Ms. Rapoza's class and Mrs. Cousino's class need to finish up Problem set 38 and Homework 38 for their next class.
Continuing practice with the distributive property and how it applies to multiplying fractions.
Mrs. Cousino's class also need to reflect in their social studies journals about the discussion they had on the British blocking the Boston Harbor as they did their second simulation of the House of Burgesses. The vote was 5 to stand and fight with their brethren in Boston, 12 (?) to work hard at maintaining peace. (Hannah, do I have those numbers right?)
What really happened -
- The House of Burgesses passed a resolution of solidarity with Massachusetts.
- Patrick Henry led a raid on ammunition supplies of the British Governor of Virginia.
- The Governor of Virginia began gathering troops.
- The first official battles of the American Revolution began in Massachusetts.
Some leading questions that may be helpful:
What would you have decided to do if you lived then and was a Burgess?
Was a violent conflict necessary?
Was it inevitable (couldn't be avoided)?
What were Henry's (played by Maren) reasons for advocating war?
Patrick Henry's (played by Maren) "Give me Liberty" speech strongly states that the war is in the cause of freedom. He even likens the colonist's situation to slavery. Do you agree?
Thomas Jefferson advocated the colonies stick together against the British. What do you think of his idea?
What might have happened if each colony had fought it's own separate war?
Enjoy that wonderful sun out there!
