The last two days in class we have been finishing up the revolution unit. Yesterday in class we looked at art from the revolution. It took up the whole class period. I felt that it was very interesting but I didn't think it needed to take a hour long. I realize how much time must have been put into making it but I don't think we really needed to learn about it. Today we took our quiz on the deceleration of independence and then we just wrapped up what happened at the end of the American revolution. Tomorrow we have the history test.

For the life of me right now I cannot remember what we did in class on Friday. Today though we went on a scavenger hunt around the first floor of the school. I really enjoyed this because we got out of the classroom for once. I think it would be really fun if we did the scavenger hunt if we do it again that is around the entire school. On thing that I might change if I could might be to make shorter questions... Just a thought and another thing that I would do is maybe allow people to choose their groups. I understand why that wouldn't work though because there are only so many people in class who have a device... But that's what I think would just make it better. One other thing that make it more fun is if its for more points if you get first place.

Yesterday and today this week were a little crazy. Yesterday in class due to the PSAT testing our class was shortened and we didn't really do much. We just got into very large groups and explained the part of the decleration that we had to summerize and share that with our group. Today I honestly hated. The sub honestly just talked no one knew what were soppose to be really doing and we didn't undersatnd the reading...like at all. The sub said that we couldn't get into groups to figure out what the heak the reading was saying and then on top of that I personally didn't know any of the battles refrence in the reading. I think almost everyone would agree that it was a very confusing class. I only had 15 minutes to write an essay that I really didn't get what I was writing it about. The sub literally talked on and on and on. Altogether it was very difficult to consentrate on the essay and the reading. If I do wicked bad on the essay I wrote the entire thing in a paragraph and I feel like everyone else felt a little rushed into finnishing it before the bell rang.

The last two days in class we presented our presentations and we began to look at the Decleration of Independence. Yesterday we got up in front of the class and spoke about the person that we learned about. I had John Adams who was the vice pisedant to George Washington and he was the second presidant of the US. One fact that I really found intresting about him was that he stood up for British soldiers after the Boston Massacere because he felt that they wouldn't get a fair trial. He didn't like the British but he helped these soldiers. Today we took a part of the decleration and summerized what was being said in it. We then went to the website where we then created a fake twitter account. I don't know if I'm soppose to embed it in my blog or not so I will anyways. My group had the first paragraph or the intruduction and the summery will be on the fake twitter account once I post it.
