The 8th graders finished up their chapter on the American Revolution this week. I received some amazing projects on the American Revolution;descriptive journals, funny and educational videos, great models of battles, and informative presentations. I think that they not only produced some great projects, but learned so much of the content at the same time.
Our next chapter is on the Constitution (my favorite chapter!). This week, the students took an actual US Citizenship test to test their knowledge over US history and government. I think that some were worried they might be deported:) however, they will learn all of it during our Constitution unit. We will be holding a mock constitutional convention and will have a Supreme Court trial over the 1st Amendment.
