Fo r those of you observing Rosh Hashanah today, we finished discussing 6th grade and Chinese American immigrant exclusion and formed hypotheses for why people get into an "us and them" or inclusion and exclusion state of mind. We will fill you in on these Friday.
Most of class was spent in individual research of small chunks of early American (colonies of France, England, Spain, Netherlands) history. Each student was assigned a small part of a chapter to summarize and prepare to teach class this episode in U.S. history. Instead of memorizing a lot of dates and facts, the emphasis is on the way tensions and conflicts built to the point of Revolution, Independence, and a need for one unifying government and set of fair laws.
THESE ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR GOVERNMENT'S STRUCTURE AND THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.
