The French & Indian War and Conflicts Among Colonies Dean Lee 8A

We learned about the conflicts in the North America colonies and a great eruption of conflicts, French & Indian War. There were no handouts given for today, and Mr. Armstrong used his board to lecture. We were expected to know key terms and the main ideas for today participation. We also needed to concentrate on the class to write the discussion in the Wikispaces, especially I, responsible for today's scribe.
First of all, our class reviewed our key terms by grouping in 2 or 3 people. I discussed with Hoonho Chung, and I think he deserves commendation. He said that King Philip functioned as Pontiac because they both opposed the moving colonists, and I think Hoonho was successful at making connections.
Amy Kim was the first student to help the others. She said that the fur trading encouraged the British and French to get the Ohio Valley. Jenny Lee asked, "Did French colonized the Ohio Valley?" In my view, I think this question wasn't effective because in our notes, they say that French only traded, while British settled. Therefore, the Ohio Valley wasn't colonized by French, and French just got profits from fur trading. However, it was an interesting question to ask.
The person who used his time wisely was Jenny Lee. She really participated and willing to ask questions to solve all of her confusions. Some of her questions were quite far ahead of topics, but those questions had connections with what we learned so far.
Today was a nice class to refresh our mind about the French & Indian War. Thanks to the teacher and participances, we got the main ideas easily and we now can think deeply about this topic.
