Thursday, December 5

Today we watched an American Ride video about George Washington and the government. After the video, students wrote a full page based on the following question prompts:

Write your feelings about President George Washington. Was he a good first president or should the U.S. have had someone else have the job first instead? Why or why not?

Did Thomas Jefferson go against his beliefs when he purchased the Louisiana Territory from France? Was this purchase unconstitutional (against the Constitution) in your opinion? Why or why not?

These journals were due at the end of the class period. Students who didn't finish needed to finish at home.

HW: Finish journal; study for test tomorrow!
DUE: None
