Class Update: 10/23/12 and 10/24/12

Yesterday in class (10/23/12) we had a scavenger hunt on the Battles of the American Revolution. We went around the school and found QR codes, the person with a device scanned the codes and we wrote down the questions. After that we went back to the classroom and answered what battles the questions described, and the date of the battles. The first person to finish the scavenger hunt got 5 extra points on their quiz.

Today in class (10/24/12) we listened to a slide show presentation about Art of the American Revolution. We learned about the paintings Paul Revere and Watson and the Shark painted by John Singleton Copley, The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Declaration of Independence painted by John Trumbull, Washington Crossing the Delaware and Washington Rallying the Troops at Monmouth painted by Emanuel Leutze, and lastly Midnight Ride of Paul Revere and Daughters of Revolution painted by Grant Wood.
