Hamilton: Day 2...

Happy Tuesday Gang,

      Most of you did a great job with your blog posts yesterday.  Take 5-10 minutes at the beginning of class to view 2-3 other blogs written by other 8th graders in the class.  Please post comments, questions, connections, or observations to others as you read.  Below are the questions for today's video.  YOU ARE REQUIRED TO ENGAGE IN THE HISTORICAL INFORMATION PRESENTED. 

Media in History
I can identify main ideas, analyze supporting details, and evaluate inferences within discipline specific readings

1.  What was the relationship like between George Washington and Alexander Hamilton?  What was it like for Hamilton when Washington died?
2.  What was the relstionship like between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton?
3.  Do you think Alexander Hamilton handled his scandal appropriately?  Why or why not? 
4.  Do you think Alexander Hamilton was an honorable man?  What makes you believe that he is or isn't?
You may not get this far today, but if you do here is a final question to ponder...
5.  From what you see about Aaron Bur, would you engage in a dual with him?  Do you think Aaron Bur is a good man?
