Monday, May 20th, 2013 - Thursday, May 23rd, 2013

The next four days the students will "Refight" the American Revolution.  While we are learning about what really happened (homework at night), students have been organized into opposing sides and are refighting the revolution in class using Mr. M's original game. History is already changing and its fun!
Results of the 1st Day:
First Period - Washington is crushed at Long Island. He is replaced by General Lee
Second Period - The Americans take Fort Oswego on Lake Ontario. The British divide their troops and take Norfolk, VA and Dover, DE.....interesting.
Third Period - The Americans lose Ticonderoga to a British force out of Canda, but have a big victory by taking Quebec! Sir Guy Carleton and 1,000 troops are captured!
Sixth Period - The British land troops at Baltimore, MD and New Brunswick, NJ. Continental Congress is forced to flee from Philadelphia!
Seventh Period - The British opt for taking Charleston, SC, which they do. The American army in the south is crushed....
