Happy Constitution Week!
Today in class we talked about the idea of money, and discussed how it was used in the colonies. The presentation from today is linked up here, in case you want to go back and look at it again.
For homework tonight, go to The Diary of Manesseh Minor, a man who lived in colonial New England. Read his entries for April, May and June 1707. (They are all pretty short!) Consider what his life must be like if these are the things that he chooses to record in his diary. Does his life sound fun? Exciting? There's nothing to write here, but his diary entries will be coming back to you later in this unit, so you may want to jot down a few impressions as notes to refresh your memories later on.
