This class is History with my teacher Mr. Tennant. We have taken notes in this class about the revolutionary war. This is important for my future because it was the time that Great Britain attempts to impose greater control over the colonies. In this lesson, we watched movies about the hardships endured by Americans from the 1770's to the 1900's and about the events that led to the American Revolution.
The first movie had talked about how many of the founding fathers had problems in their lives, like alcoholism and debt.The founding fathers where called Samuel Adams, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. They were all well educated, hard-working and dedicated to founding a country. They had really low taxes and they were happy about it but it didn't last long.
There was a tariff for bringing in supplies. This caused colonists, including John Hancock, to smuggle in rum so it could not be taxed. Bostonians retaliated by destroying royal property. Samuel Adams fired them up with great speeches that inspired colonists all around. Taxing caused many problems, some ending in death. It was difficult to retrieve water safe enough to drink. This forced everyone to depend on alcohol. Even slaves drank beer, children drank booze themselves because it was sterile to drink. They could not drink water and milk since it was full of diseases that are unsafe to drink.
The final movie we watched was called "The Men Who Built America" and goes back to the 1770s and talked about the two important characters, Daniel Boone and Blackfish. The movie explained that back in the 1770s, it was exceedingly dangerous for Americans to hunt for game since native Americans would hunt and kill anyone on their land. Men would hunt in the land because they were desperate for money and the hides of animals in those parts of the land were extremely valuable. Since Daniel Boone was in debt, he had the choice to either work in a labor camp or blaze into the Kentucky territory in order to pay his debt.

This class is US history , my teacher is Mr. Tennant. What I have learned in this class is to take good notes when we watch movies. I learned about the US history I for example we learned about how the first technology was made, how some wars impacted society, and the presidency. .We learned in a online course called Edgenuity. It all starts with the warm-up which warms us up for the lesson.The next one is instruction, instruction tells us what to do and describes the topic and while the teacher is speaking our job is to take notes for it to help for future assignments. After that we have a assignment, our assignment asks questions about what we learned in instruction. The last one is the quiz, the quiz helps our teacher understand if we watched and took good notes on instruction. We go through all this process in every lesson. After a few lessons we finish the unit we have a unit test, the unit test helps your teacher know if we where paying good attention to all the lesson. The process I went through to succeed was to take very good notes and make sure they are available for your quizzes and tests. This work represents me because it is all my hard work. I think I am representing self, school and community through personal responsibility and global citizenship because I am explaining what i have been doing in school. I think I am thinking critically and creatively because I was creative about my notes and designed them how ever I wanted them to be. In this class i learned how to take good notes and organized notes, I also learned how to turn in things on time and making sure my Edgenuity processes was on point.These skills will help me later in life because I will know how to keep my notes organized and how to turn things in on time.
