Final Immersion of Unit 1-Yoona C.

Today was the begginning of another chapter of unit 1. This time is was about the "Middle Colonies." It is the last chapter of the first unit. Everyone seemed to be pretty excited about finishing a unit at last. Mr.Armstrong handed out a grpahic organizer which had three different sections; name of colony founded & founder, year and the faliures & succeses of that colony. Together, in the pods that we were assigned, each group worked on filling in the graphic organizer with information and important people. For example, Anne Hutchinson founded Portsmouth in 1638 to ban the idea of must having a church minister telling you what to do, etc. To complete this handout, we were expected to know important information on last week's chapter, which mainly about real religious freedom and the settlement of Rhode Island. Afterwards, the class worked on taking notes for the final immersion of unit 1. After about 30~40 minuets of taking notes the class ended with the homework as finishing taking notes on the "Middle Colonies'" key terms and important people.
