Revolution: The Basic Proficiency Exam...

Happy Monday Y'all,

      Today is Monday, January 9, 2012.  Our class will be broken down into 2 parts again today and it is a different schedule.  The first part of our class will be a quickwrite and whip around.  I hope you have your Me Books.  The second part of class will be a continuation of Friday.  We will be completing our tests/exams in the next couple of days so we can proctor them with a partner. 

PART 1: QUICKWRITE & WHIP AROUND
Watch the videos below, read the Wikipedia definition, and connect the information to what you already know in order to write a 5th grade paragraph that answers the level 3 question below. 
Causes of the American Revolution


The Seeds of Revolution


What is a REVOLUTION?

Learning Target (History): I can demonstrate an understanding of US history through expository writing.
Based on what we now know about revolution, how could we explain the events that lead up to the revolution and why it happened?  What are the causes and effects of rebellion/revolution? How do people that are deprived of freedom attain freedom?

PART 2: BASIC PROFICIENCY EXAMS
Click on the blog post from Friday to review what we were doing before we left for the weekend.

Revisit Friday's Class

I can't wait for the whip around to hear all your great thinking!  Good luck and enjoy!

Best regards,
