Understanding the information better

After we shook hands with Mr. Armstrong, we were divided into groups first. Then we took the second pop quiz , which also allowed us to see our notebooks to see if we got enough information about the key terms. The questions were defining the Mayflower compact, puritans, William Bradford and Samoset & Squanto. After that, each group got to talk about the New England Colonies; about the Mayflower, puritans, pilgrim, William Bradford, Mayflower Compact, Samoset & Squanto, General Court, John Winthrop and apprentice. It was more like a waterfountain-talk like we did previously; group by group. The waterfountain talk allowed us to obtain informations that we needed. For the rest of the class period, Mr. Armstrong defined us more accurately about the difference between puritans and pilgrim. He used pictures, also known as armstrong-art, to understand about the information better, which did allow us to comprehend it better.
