Class Update: 10-4-12 and 10-5-12

Yesterday in class we had our second Ed-Cafe to discuss events that led up to the Revolutionary War. It wasn't as good as the first Ed-Cafe, as it was mostly having the person tell you about what happened and then taking notes. There wasn't much to discuss, and usually by the time you were done taking notes you had to move on to the next topic. Today we did more discussing the events that led up to the revolution. After that, we read the poem about the ride of Paul Revere and talked about the actual events that occurred. Then, we wrote our own sonnets in pairs about the ride of Revere, Dawes, and Prescott. It was fun and very different to do something like that.
