MS History 

Today was a fun day!  We worked in some groups to discuss the topics and questions we'd like to have answered in this class.  Then we tried to see what everyone knew about this time period by playing "Find Someone Who...."  Students also received their notebooks today.  This notebook contains the entire semester's worth of work, so please make sure you keep up with it.  If you lose your notebook, it is a $40 replacement fee.  Please also bring this to class each week.  You are free to write in it (on all the pages--front & back).  You can highlight in it and take notes in the margins!  If you are looking to make this course more challenging---See the "CHALLENGE ME" section below. 

For "at-home" work this week, please do the following pages Unit 1: Colonization-read the information, Skip the page with the Hexagons. 

Read & Do all of Concept 2: Plymouth Colony & a New Life for freedom & Faith.
Read & Do all of Concept 3 Massachusetts Bay Colony, Classroom Courtroom, (stop with the three pieces of evidence)

If you would like to make this History class even more challenging, you are welcome to complete a podcast response to learn more about history in general.  If you can customize your podcast to specifically cover the time period we are studying, you will earn additional points. This is an optional assignment!

Step 1: Listen to the podcast and take notes.
Step 2: Complete the podcast response & bring to class.  It should be coloful, neat, detailed, and ACCURATE!
