Critical Thinking Questions
1.  Considering the causes of the American Revolution, do you think something like the American Revolution could happen in our world today?  Why or Why not?

2.  You have been researching all about a famous person from the American Revolution (you chose this person as part of your homework on January 25).  If you were alive then, would you have been friends with him/her?  Why or why not?  Give reasons to support your answer.

3.  Many people worked together to create the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  Do you think these documents could have been created without compromise? Who were the people who collaborated to create such important events in our history and what was the ultimate result?

Blogging for our American Revolution Project

For the last few weeks in P3, we've been using educational technology to investigate causes and effects of the American Revolution.  Using our iPads, we've assessed key people of the war, and compare and contrast American Revolution era pictures, battles and events.  Some of the educational technology tools we've explored with include QR codes, web quests, and a handful of iPad applications for collecting and organizing our research efforts.  Now, it's time to BLOG!!

Blogging is easy!  You might remember our first experience with our Narrative Writing critical thinking question.  You were asked to respond to a blog post - but that was just the beginning!  As we delve deeper and deeper into blogging, you will become more familiar with the process of blogging, the benefits of blogging and the importance of always using and applying what you know about how to write (capitalization, punctuation, sentence structure, ect.) when blogging!
