Students collaborated over the emerging themes from Chapter 4. We set up a new E.Q. page with 2 questions for the next unit "A New Republic": 1. Was the U.S. Revolution revolutionary? and 2. What is a revolutionary? Start working on the first chapter reading for the new unit -- Chapter 5, which is due Thursday, October 4th. In the meantime in class we'll be doing our end-of-unit work for the current "Exploration & Colonization" unit (Crash Course, Research, & Writing). In class today we viewed the 8-minute clip of the Middle Passage from Amistad (note: graphic content), a new handout "A Simplified Timeline of Slavery and Racial Issues" was distributed and discussed at length, we added a few notes about slavery onto our map
