Class Update: 10-2-12 10-3-12

Yesterday in class we talked about the French and Indian war. It was interesting to see that the Indians got involved and that different tribes took different sides. Also, I couldn't believe that colonists endured harsh winter conditions, low rations, wounds, and even death for the land west of the Appalachians. I don't think anyone can blame them for being outraged when King George said that they couldn't live there. He said that he cared about the safety of the colonists, but in actuality he would have never let them die for it if he cared at all. Today we prepared for the second Ed-Cafe by reading our packets of information and making a slideshow on it. I liked going to the library and doing the slideshow, but Google Docs was really frustrating! It kept "updating" and forcing us to refresh the page, sometimes loosing what we were working on. But, it was nice to do something outside of the classroom.
