History Level 4, 11/12/2013

Here is how I would describe the students this past week: eager, ready to answer the questions in detail and especially eager to present their arguments for the colonies to King George. I sat back and enjoyed their presentations! At the end I presented the one argument they missed and applied it to our responsibility today to protect our freedom from the power hungry in every level of government who seek to turn the citizens into servants of the government.

Assignment
