Pero la vida ahora no es normal. Por eso, mira el video de arriba para introducirte al tema de la independencia de nuestro país, y después, lárgate de la computadora, llama a tus abuelos o tíos u otros miembros de la familia con quien no has tenido bastante contacto, y pregúntales qué saben de este tema. Luego, haz 3 x 7 saltos de tijera. :)

And now, in English:

If life were normal, we would have learned more about the history of the U.S. In class, after learning about some indigenous groups and forms/topics of activism, we got as far as the Era of Exploration and the Columbian Exchange. But life isn't normal. So just take a moment to watch the video above about US independence, then move away from your computer and call up a grandparent or other family member you haven't contacted frequently enough and ask them to share what they know about the Independence of the US. Then go do 3 x 7 jumping jacks. :)
