Class Update: 10-30-12, 11-1-12, and 11-2-12

Because we had no school on Monday due to the power outage and Hurricane Sandy, today I bring you three class updates for the price of one! On Tuesday in class we worked on our Integrated projects which we then presented yesterday. My group consisted of me, Rachel Mahoney, Eliza Mullen, and Maeve Callewaert. We wrote, performed, and recorded a scenario in which Julius Caesar was on trial by the Continental Congress. It was a lot of fun to create and we edited it together into a more professional looking video. I was very happy with our finished project although in the end it had some glitches when we played in the school library. Today in class we read documents about slavery. My group read about slaves being transported in ships under horrific conditions. It was understand that many wished to jump ship and drown over live a life of slavery. We then created a storyboard which showed what our documents were about in pictures and words.
