10/26

uhg im writing that paper for you, so bear with me if this post is a ittle short. the paper is due @ midnight, so i have 2 hours and 54 minutes... im not really worried, im already a good chunck into it, and im confident i will have it done by 10, but still, deadlines like this are new to me, and the ever tempting urge to to homework in the morning, or on the bus or in a study tomorrow has disappeared, and i will have adapt.

10/25

today we just went over who our people were, and what they did, also, we have to strt our papers for  nice net (uhhhgggg) i have soooo much long term homework in all my clases right now. :(

10/21

Today, much to my excitement, and thankfulness, the kind and merciful Mr. Boyle gave us the weekend to do our voice threads and story board (thank you thank you thank you thank you)and we took some notes. all this time we were with our budyy for that A/B work sheet from last night, and we spent some time going over that. and the four groups (people, congress, state, electoral) and their respective benefits and downfalls. we also learned about the short answer questions we would have to answer on the quest (quiz-test, i like to call them tuizes)so today was pretty important for history.

10/20

10/19

today, we had french students in our class, which was interesting, and we reveived what we hasd learned in the past two day. i really neeed to start my history project so... maybe i'll do that now

friday

yesterday, we got into our groups from the day before, and we got more documents to look at. im not a huge fan of just studieing documents, and im unsure how much i actually got out of it, but i understand it can be very necessary.

10/14

today we split up into 3 groups (a,b,c) and looked at historical documents at around the time of the constitution. in my group the actually document was just a conversation between a group of people, (it may have been that way for every group, i dont know) so we each picked a person and read as that person. Also, i'm curious if you actually ever read our blogs, so if you read this, can you just leave a comment (one words fine), thanks. -drew

The Preamble

For homework tonight, i have to memorize the 0preamble, which is the first section of the constitution. Luckily, (thank you 5th grade and school house rock) i already know most of it. "we the people, in order to form a morte purfect nation, establish justice and ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general wellfair, ...(cant remember)... do-ordained and establish this consitution of america" almost...

Deceifering and discussing the historical documents

Over the weekend we had to read and translate (old English-modern English)and write a paragraph about them, then using the power of google docs, we combined them and put them all on one paper. then yesterday and today we had to present them. it was all pretty fun, minus reading the old english,  which might have well been chinese.

Test

we had the test today, and i think i did pretty good, i had to rush the final paragraph of my essay, because time ran out and i didnt want to stay after school just to finish 3 minutes of work. i also forgot some of the declaration, but the first part, and some of the second part i am very confident in. _drew

10/4 (i've decided that dated titles are less confusing and more orginized)

today, we go another packet that we needed to fill in the questions after we read it ...i'm not worried, i did most it in class. also, we discussed more important battles, as well as, for the first time, what happened after we declared independence, and how it still wasn't over, because we had to come to terms with what should happen next. -Drew
