Monday, May 14th

Main topic of the day was - "Why was there an American Revolution?" Using some digital documents the students made inquiry into why there was a revolution. It was more than just a revolt over taxes or for independence. The students learned what this was really about - the power of government over our lives. It was also about something really growing in importance at that time - the idea that there are basic human rights.  This is a precursor to our talk about the Declaration of Independence.
