Federalist vs. Federalist? Wait a Minute...
Hey Everyone,
1. What was the relationship like between George Washington and Alexander Hamilton? What was it like for Hamilton when Washington died?
Lingering Question: How did Hamilton begin the destruction of the Federalist Party and why do you think he acted the way he did?
Please make sure you have 3 blog posts by tomorrow. There are two sets of questions. One set of questions is from Monday. One set of questions is from yesterday. The blog post for today should include...
1. A picture or image that represents something you have learned about Hamilton, The Federalist Party, Post-Revolution America, or The Constition.
2. The answer to the lingering question.
3. At least one lingering question you are left with.
There were a few questions from yesterday that no one got to. The questions that remain to be answered are below:
1. What was the relationship like between George Washington and Alexander Hamilton? What was it like for Hamilton when Washington died?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?
Now, even after watching this entire biography I had lingering questions. Being able to ask questions after watching media or reading text means that you are interacting with ideas. Below you will see one more question that lingered in my mind. Try your best to answer it and ask lingering questions of your own.

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.
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?

Alexander Hamilton: Statesman & Scandal...
Happy Monday,
The video you will be watching today is one that forced me to think long and hard whether to show it to you at all. There are a few events discussed in the video that will require a certain level of maturity from all of you as 8th graders. Suffice it to say, your guest teacher will be letting me know if any of you cannot handle it and she is more than welcome to kick any of you out of the classroom. Those removed from the learning will have to make it up with me on their own time. Good luck. I know you can all do it.
Alexander Hamilton was never a president. He was never a vice-president. However, he was a genius. We would not have the country we have today without him. Please answer the questions below in the blog on Bb9.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON
1. What influenced Hamilton as a young man? Do you think these influences made him into the man he was later in life?
2. What signs did he see during the Revolutionary War that made him think the federal government was too weak?
3. Why do you think Hamilton was a Federalist and why did he wanted a TRUE REPUBLIC?
4. What did Hamilton see going on with the states after the war?
Sincerely,
C
