Civics:

Retake Quiz
The revised Quiz is located here.
We are then going to finish Guided Reading 2. I expect it to be complete by the end of class.

NC SCOS Objective:
1.01 Describe how geographic diversity influenced economic, social, and political life in colonial North America.


If time, we should have time to check out the the History Channel Documentary: The New World: Nightmare of Jamestown. While watching the documentary we will answer the following questions. If you are at home, you should be able to use this link or this link to watch the show and answer the questions.

The documentary is described as:It's a story of bubonic plague, starvation, espionage and cannibalism -- and the founding of America's first colony. In 1607, a handful of English adventurers set sail across the Atlantic, expecting a paradise teeming with gold and riches. Now, 400 years later, the latest discoveries reveal the true story of Jamestown--as you've never seen it before. With exclusive access to forensics and archaeology, National Geographic reveals shocking new evidence of starvation and disease, secret plots and Spanish spies. Authentic recreations bring to life one of the most dramatic chapters in America's history.
