Friday, Feb 22nd:
Yay Friday! Even with it being a semi-short week, I feel many of us need another mid-winter break! I guess a weekend will have to do.
2/22 Quick Write: I am collecting all your Quick Writes today! (there should be FOUR)
Today we are wrapping up the tensions between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.. don’t worry, the conflicts they started don’t go away and we will continue to revisit them!
In order to show me what you have learned and that you understand each person’s political views and the corresponding political party, you will be given the following assignment: create either a Political Poster/Advertisement OR write an Editorial in a newspaper in support of either the Federalists or Republicans. You must pick only one of the parties and use persuasion to convince others to vote for your party.
Note: this is a quiz grade, so it is worth more for your grade.
The 3/4 things I am collecting today:
- Quick Writes
- Current Event– time to get back into the routine of them!
- The Venn diagram we did yesterday
- Hamilton vs. Jefferson Wrap-Up assignment if completed
If you want to hear about the Hamilton vs. Jefferson battle in a more rhythmic way, watch the attached video which uses music from the play “Hamilton”. It depicts Hamilton and Jefferson arguing during a cabinet meeting with President Washington over whether or not to establish a National Bank.
