Reminder -- Chapter 2 notes are due Wednesday. We discussed the students' most interesting things learned on Thursday and Friday from the Williamsburg site. Make note on your CQ page of history.org as potential for research later. We went over the lesson plans for the rest of the unit to give the long-view perspective and then picked up by taking a look at slavery of the era -- add the "1619 Project" by the NYT on your C.Q. page. We added EQs and CQs while viewing the Middle Passage clip from Speilberg's Amistad. (Be forewarned, it is graphic.) There will be more information on slavery in our textbook pages yet to be assigned. We proceeded to go into depth on the Haudenosaunee influence on British colonists by way of a C&E on excerpts from chapter 11 of Charles C. Mann's book, 1491 -- to be used in a scored Socratic discussion.
