I was afraid that this would happen. I would forget for a couple of days and then have to come back and write more. First off, for the past couple of days we have worked on our political campaign poster and Section 3 of Chapter 8. The presentations of the posters went really well and the kids did a great job.  Today we finished up Section 3 and I had them answer the following writing assignment.

2. The writing assignment

       Jefferson stated that, “in a fight by oppressed people to win freedom, some injustices were to be expected.” In 1-2 paragraphs I would like you to answer the following question. This is a opinion so you are not going to be wrong but I would like you also to be honest with yourself and me. The question is this “Is it right to cause harm to someone else if you feel that you are fighting for a just cause and how do you know if it is a just cause or not?”

I really wanted to try to make the students think about what they believe.
If at any time you have a question you can post comments or send me an e-mail through my school  e-mail.

This is the books web site. You can find some great information in there. I also recommend it because it has self-quizes and test that you can have your students do and you get instant feedback.
