PSA for Mr. Garland's social studies classes: Please work your way through this webpage, top to bottom, to complete the assigned activities for Tuesday the 7th.
Please watch a brief section of the video linked on the left. Start at 8:00 and only watch until 15:00.
The video will begin with British warships opening fire on New York and end with POWs in the harbor.
Once you have finished watching the 7-minute section from the video above, you will do some light research on the HMS Jersey. You can use the 3 links below, or do your own research. TASK: in your notebooks, write down 5 facts about the HMS Jersey during the American Revolution. You can use up to two facts from the video for your list.
Once you have finished your list of 5 facts, you will move on to our next iteration of Be Washington. To access the website, you can click the link below or search for "Be Washington" on Google.
