Week of February 3rd

7th Grade Social Studies

Students in 7th grade social studies will continue to research a battle from the American Revolution. Classes will work together to create comic strips using an iPad app called Comic Life to show what they know about the battles of the American Revolution. Students will then create video overlays describing the battles that were chosen, and attach the videos to their comic strips. We will create an interactive classroom timeline of the battles of the American Revolution using the student comic strips and videos. Students are encouraged to add to our list of online sources by sending me the link to reputable American Revolution websites. 

Homework: students should check their Edmodo account for this week's homework assignment (due Friday, February 7th).
