Blog #10 week of 11/13-11/17
Block 1/2 Only!
As the Colonists were starting to feel unhappy with their boss- er... King George, they started to think about revolting. The goal was to one day have their own country, with their own set of rules to follow- fair rules where they had a say. And they started to conduct super secret meetings where they made these new rules and dreamt about what freedom would bring. If you were a fly on a wall at one of these meetings, what sort of things do you think they envisioned for their new country- what rules would they want or not want? What did the DREAM BIG about?

Tell me your favorite book, you opinion on lit circles and what you would have liked done differently. Tell me if you liked the CHOICE aspect of this unit or if you would have rather read a book as a class. Did you think we did too much "busy work" so that it took away from the pleasure of reading, or was it an okay amount? Try to answer all the above questions. Happy blogging!

As we start the unit on the 13 colonies, you need to start thinking about the short story you will be writing. You will take a fictional character and drop them into a colonial setting. Will your story be about a runaway slave? Will your story be about a Native American battle in the colony of Virginia? Will your story have a little witch trials in it or a love story? Will you be writing an action-adventure or a comedy? What types of stories are you drawn to? I want you to use this blog as a pre-pre-pre brainstorm of sorts. Start thinking about your short story and what you may want to write about and list some ideas or start a brainstorm here.
As always, a minimum of 2 sentences please!

What are you most looking forward to this school year? Explain! For me, I have three things. I love the American Revolution and talking about the men who risked everything for us; I also love the Civil War and Abe Lincoln. I am also excited for our Washington DC trip in 2013. That was the highlight of my year last year, so I expect it to be the same!
