Socials 9: Feb. 12th

Today in the first half students worked on part 3 of their revolutions project.  Working on researching their literal/research questions and coming up with their evaluative question in preparation for their final product.

You will get one more block to finish up Revolutions project next week.  It is due by Friday.

Second half:

Sharing of recipes for a revolutiion (submitted today).

Partners:  compared two revolutions in a venn diagram.  If you are away you could compare your revolution to the French Revolution using your text book.

We talked briefly how there are many songs about revolutions.

Then we spent the last 30 minutes working on the philosophers assignment (today was last class time for this).  This is due by Friday next week.  Here is the check list that I provided for the philosophers assignment.
