Whew, most of you are through the first role play. If you have not given your role play you must prepare to do so soon.
The topic for today were the battles at Lexington and Concord. These were the first battles of the American Revolution. They were small battles but of great importance. You should read about the battles in your book on page 130. Look at your map in the book too as it will help you get a feel for the geography. You should take "Quick Facts" on the battles at Lexington and Concord and put the quick facts on handout #9. Lastly you should think about Emerson's poem The Concord Hymn and how he labeled these battles "the shot heard round the world." We will be writing essays on this quote. You can look at handout #11 and #12 for further directions on the essay. It will be due next Monday.
For homework tonight you should complete the reading assignment that is handout #14.
