Slave Journals

For tomorrow (2/7), we will be writing slave journals. Here is the information that the students need to use to create their journals.

Creating a Slave Journal

You will write three entries in a journal from the perspective of a slave living in the mid-1800s.
Your entries should describe how a slave might have faced slavery and discrimination.

Entry 1: On this first page, describe yourself and your living and working conditions. Include:
• a date and location, such as November 4, 1853, Johnson Plantation, South Carolina.
• your name, age, and a brief a description of your family.
• a description of your living conditions.
• a description of a typical workday and your working conditions.
• an illustration.

Entry 2: On the second page, describe a way in which you have resisted slavery. Include:
• a date and location.
• a description of your quiet or open act of rebellion.
• an illustration.

Entry 3: On the third page, describe ways in which you and other slaves maintain a strong
sense of community. Include:
• a description of your favorite leisure time activity.
• a description of a church meeting.
• an illustration.

Causes of the Revolution Retest

If you are interested in taking the Causes of the Revolution retest, the test can be found in the document manager area of my website. You may use the internet, and you may work together. This should be a reteaching opportunity. You may only submit one retest. You may want to print the test, find the answers, and then go back to put the answers in. Make sure to put "A" for the last four. It may count them as wring, but I will make sure to change that for the grade.

Enjoy

Week of 10/10

This week we will focus on how North Carolina became a distinct Colony.  Do you know how North and South Carolina separated?  This might be a good chance to let your student show off some new knowledge.  The only homework as it stands now is Tuesday.  Students will be doing a triple venn diagram of the 3 colonial regions.  We may begin this in class. 

 

I am starting a new way of communicting to parents.  I have found a website that allows me to text a group of people for free, and keeps all of our numbers annonymous.  Simply text @mralasc to 415-666-2434

This is a legitamate website called classparrot.com

Week of 9/12 and Guilford Courthouse Extra Credit

Thanks for checking in.  This week we will focus on the early settlement of North Carolina.  Mon is a little out of sequence, and we will be talking about 9/11, and the roots of modern terrorism.  The rest of the week we will discuss Columbus, the Lost Colony, and the Jamestown settlement.  

The extra credit details/instructions are below.   

1 Print the worksheets. Click on "GC" in the documents section of my website.

2 Go to the park find the information and fill in the worksheets. This may take many hours. There is a battlefield section and a museum section. I believe the Museum closes at 5 pm daily. 

3 Take a picture of yourself at the park near an identifiable landmark. Pictures can be emailed, brought in on device, or printed.

4 Turn both in by 10/26. No exceptions can be made because this is the last day of the grading period.

5. DO NOT wait until the last minute to do this. Weather does not always cooperate, and you probably cannot get it done after school in one trip. It is NOT alright to take off of school to do this.

6 If you all go to the park together it is OK to do this with friends. Do not give your work to someone else. 

7 You will receive 5 100%'s in the grade book; the equivalent of a perfect test grade. 

8 Questions other than extensions email me. 

Project due Friday

We are doing a mini project that is due Friday.  Students will be doing this entirely at home.  Students will create a 3D model of the regions of North Carolina.  The main purpose is to get across the theme that elevation is what determines our geographic regions in North Carolina.  Students can use any medium they wish to make the model.  Clay, cardboard, and uncooked pasta are a couple of materials they may wish to use.  The model need not be larger than a sheet of paper, but it is up to the discretion of the student.  I do not expect the project to take more than an hour or two.
