We began our new unit -- "A New Republic". Set up a new E.Q. page with this EQ on the front: 1. Was the U.S. Revolution revolutionary? (set up 2 columns: "yes" and "not so much"); on the back side, set up this question: 2. What is a revolutionary? (noun...descriptors and examples). Set up a new C.Q. page, also. We discussed a bit the Williamsburg web site videos as reference for the late colonial period in which our revolution takes place and a reference map handout was provided. We went through a quick slide show -- "Founder or Not?" Our two anchor pieces this unit will be a timeline and a small packet about the most famous of the founders....today the timeline was provided and we went through it together, highlighting particular aspects -- see a reliable classmate to get caught up with that piece.
