Class Update: 10-25-12 and 10-26-12

Yesterday in class we had a quiz on the preamble of the Declaration of Independence. After the quiz we took notes on the final battles and the resolution of the Revolutionary War. Our notes included information on the battle of Yorktown and the Treaty of Paris. It was interesting to see that the Treaty of Paris included giving the Americans the land between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River when this was one of the reasons the revolution began. As Mr. Boyle said, "everything came full circle". Today in class we had our second "Quest" which included identifying ten of the thirteen colonies, writing two sentences about seven terms, and answering three short answer questions.
