Monday:
We reviewed some of what happened while I was away last week including some of the content around revolutions, rebellions and civil wars. We then reviewed the expectations around writing a persuasive paragraph and briefly discussed some the historically significant events, people and inventions in chapter one. We then headed to the library where they continued to either work on their revolutions project notes (5W+H) and finish up their persuasive paragraphs on the most historically significant event, person or invention from chapter 1.
Tuesday Feb. 3rd
Today we went over the Friday 5 quizzes. Reviewed or took notes on different types of governments including what a democracy is and the different types of democracy. We watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IndRAsYX4W4 on early democracy and discussed representative vs direct democracy and examples of each. We finished the class doing some peer editing on our persuasive paragraphs. Then I promptly forgot to hand out report cards!!
