Today in class we watched a voicethread on the paintings and artwork of the American Revolution. Many of the artwork symbollically represented the Revolution, such as aWatson and the Shark. It represented Britain (the shark) and Watson (the colonies) struggling for the advantage. The loss of Watson's leg symbolized the breaking away from Britain, and the outcome was to show that both would be prosperous.

Today in class we talked about the draft of the Constitution. The Constitution basically was a list of reasons why America was breaking away from Britain. This included unfair laws, no representation, and many others.

Today in class we presented our life size replica models. I found everyone's person very interesting,and most of them I did not know. It was a real learning experience. For example, King George in his spare time likes to farm. I though this was strange because he was a King and he spent his time doing common-people things like farming. There is no actual proof that Betsy Ross created the first flag, but was only credited with it. There were many things I learned in class today.
