Today in class, we started transitioning from talking about historical thinking to talking about historical content. Our first content unit is about the earliest British colonies that survived, those being Jamestown and Plymouth. I know you all have some familiarity with something to do with these colonies, and our work in class today focused on drawing out what you already know (we call that "prior knowledge" in teacher talk). Then we started looking at an old educational video about the two colonies so we can apply our knowledge about perspective and bias. Stay tuned for more tomorrow!
HWK: Complete Part 2 of the worksheet handed out in class today, completing the sentence stems on the back of the handout. If you want some guidance on how long you should work, do as much as you can in about 20 minutes of effort. If you need another copy of the handout, it is linked below.
