The Great Social Studies Enlightenment

The Great Social Studies Enlightenment
Today is October 18th 2007. During Social Studies, we learned various material and did an activity.
The first thing we did, was take out our agendas and write down the homework which was to do Week 9 Immersion, like you know, do the stuff you always do? (key terms and main ideas)
After that was put away, Mr. Armstrong then started to make a graphic organizer of the monarch, privy council, governors, assemblies, town meetings, colonial courts. I finally understood how we were supposed to do it... (Week 8 Immersion Main Ideas Question 1) This is somewhat similar to what we drew:

Monarch
---------------------
Privy Council
(set colonies laws)
---------------------
Governors
+
Advisory Council
---------------------
Colonial Assemblies
(made laws)
---------------------
Town meetings
(discussed local affairs)
---------------------
Colonial Courts

We also did an activity in which we made a timeline of some important dates that we researched in the Holt Social Studies United States History textbook. We had to write a summary of each event. By the time you are done doing the homework, you should have a clear understanding of the French and Indian war. I think that the sparknotes link which you can find immediately after pressing on Week 9 immersion, is meant for extra information or a clear summary of the information. Everybody remember that you have got to watch the video and take notes or you can print out the text version of the video and then take notes.
