January 29th 2015 Day 1

First Day of Quarter 3!

8F- Today in Social we finished off our chapter 7 vocabulary. We started taking notes on what factors impact a society's worldview, specifically that of the Aztecs. We then looked at the geography of Mexico and Spain, and the students created their own maps of the counties to get a hands on view of what the differences between both countries looks like.

7F-Today we looked at the different perspectives on war that both the French and English colonies had in the 1700s. We looked at each county's strengths and weaknesses, in order to better understand why they saw the seven years war as they did.




7F- During our second block we looked into what made the Acadians who they are. We looked at their way of life and how they came to be under English rule. Students were left with a cliff hanger on how the story of the Acadians is going to finish thanks to the seven years war and them refusing to side with either the English or the French....The great deportations will be discussed in length on Monday.

Have a great long weekend everyone!!
