Back to the Future & 13 Colonies: who are the New Englanders?

Imagine being a Pilgrim coming over to the "New World" from the "motherland" and the all the hardships that you are going to have to endure in the name of your faith. It wasn't easy along the way, but they made it and established a very important principal for our future government...self-government. Students went back in time to and acted like Pilgrims making their way to the New World.

Just a reminder, there will be a quiz on Friday over the regions of the 13 colonies, be ready.

It's almost game time!!!!!

Students worked on their review sheets for the 1st Semester Exam (Wednesday) with a partner or independently. Tomorrow's test will cover all the major topics or units that we've learned about up to this past week. That means Early Exploration...think Christopher Columbus and why the Europeans came to the New World. Also, the formation of the 13 Colonies, their struggle for independence from a mother who didn't want to let go, the War that took place between the British and the colonists, the formation of a new government and what that looked like, good and bad. All students should have the review sheet and it would be wise of them to study these questions.
