research papers


Right now were all drawing our tombstones, on our tombstones we have to write if the people were doves or hawks or isolationists. Most people are done now but there are still a couple still working. Every one else is talking. Now we're seeing which people were doves or hawks or isolationist. Monroe was an isolationist, Jefferson was a dove, John Adams was a dove, Washington was an isolatinist. Now we're moving on to the War of 1812. We each got our own peice of paper and we're making our own thinking map. We just wrote the out line of the map now were going back into our notes in chapter 12  to go over the war to see what were going to put in our thinking maps.  We have to use our notes to fill out the map. Now were just talking and Ms. Nakada said she doesn't know if she would die for her husband. Now every one is asking questions and having their own conversations. Now every one stopped talking and is working. Some people are working in groups and some by themselves. Now we're all done with our maps we read some of it out loud and now were working on our alpha smarts on our research papers. A lot of us finished our first paragraph and now wer'e getting redy to write our other paragraphs. Now wer'e putting our alpha smarts away.
