HW:  Review Notes
RJ 6.1 - 6.5 due tomorrow!

After "Dots" read the blog we forgot to pick someone!  How did that happen?  Oh, I know how.  There was the Shake Drop Drill.  Everyone got down and covered for the "earthquake" and people were just relaxing underneath their tables.  After the drill we went through my earthquake kit and talked about how if I died, someone should take my kit so that there's sunscreen, toilet paper and water out on the south field.  

So, then we started to work through the agenda.  We review the notes we took on Ch. 5, how the colonists went from being allies with the British during the French and Indian war, to being enemies and declaring their independence.

The class took Cornell Notes on CH. 6 The Declaration Of Independence showing how Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death," and Thomas Paine's Common Sense moved more colonists toward independence.  Then we talked about how Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence said all men were created equal with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness but that it didn't mention slavery.  Interesting and quite ironic.

Then we went outside to play capture the flag/chicken and even though the red team tried to squash the rebels, Gary as George Washington lead the blue team (Patriots) to victory.  They got candy, well everyone did and it was a crazy day because the Ducks play the Bruins tonight.  GO DUCKS!!!
