Social Studies Update for Thursday

What a great day from all my classes! Thanks, students. 8th Grade wrote a short essay about what might have motivated members of individual groups to choose sides in the Revolutionary War. Some students did not finish in the allotted time, and they are to complete this assignment for homework. 6th Grade saw a film about the melting of polar ice caps and climate change. We talked about it and did a short summary. There was no homework. 7th Grade finished reading about ancient India, looked at three very short film clips about India and wrapped up the day with a discussion of English colonial rule on the subcontinent.
