In class today we worked with four documents that had to do with the Colonial and British Government. (each student looked at two documents) Each document had a slightly different task. The documents by Hobbes and Locke had questions to answer along with them, and they were posted in Classroom. The documents themselves are linked up above. The descriptions of the British and Colonial systems of government are linked up. For those documents you need to diagram what the government looked like (while giving an explanation if you like) using Explain Everything, and share your links with Mr. Whitten and Ms. DelLlano via email, or through the app itself. (whitten@bpsk12.org, Delllano@bpsk12.org)
For tonight, finish answering questions or making your drawing for the documents you worked with in class. We will work with the other two documents in class tomorrow.

Homework for Monday, September 15
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.

Homework for September 9--Mask Preparation
Today in class we went over how other people's labels and descriptions can impact a person's identity. Tomorrow in class we will wrap up the identity unit with the creation of masks that represent our internal and external identities. You will have access to masks, markers, crayons, pencils, glue and scissors in class, but if you wish to have pictures, or typed words, you should gather that information yourself tonight and bring them to class tomorrow.

Homework for September 8--Journal Prompt #1
For tonight, you are to type a response to the following prompt:
Experiences help us define who we are and who we are not. Identify an experience that shaped your identity. Describe this event or experience and then explain the impact it had on how you answer the question: "Who am I"?
A google doc has been shared with you through your US History I Classroom folder. You may write the answer to the prompt on the doc there, or you may compose your own. If you compose your own, please copy and paste the prompt from above and type your answer below. Then share the document with Ms. D and Mr. Whitten. Printed copies will not be accepted, nor will hand-written ones.
This will count as a homework grade.
If you did not finish your bio-poem in class, you must do so for homework. That may be handwritten and illustrated and fancy, or it may just be typed and simple.
