History class on Feb 13th.

During class today, we talked about a new section: The early Presidencies.
We talked about the first president, George Washington. To learn about the hardships George Washington went through as the first president of the united states, we did an activity.The activity was about one of the international problems George Washington had to face.The problem was : When France and Great Britain were at war, George Washington had to choose what he was going to do... ally with Great Britain due to trading/economic reasons? or ally with France due to the fact that they allied with America during the Revolutionary War.
With the groups we were assigned with, we had to decide what we would do if we were George Washington, and give reasons to why we would help the country we chose. ( at the end, we found out that George Washington didn't side with either countries, he decided to be neutral)
at the end of going through which country we would side with and through the power point, we had quite a lot of time left, almost 30 minutes to work on our immersions.
