WRITING
Starting today, I would like all of you to begin keeping a journal with regards to your daily lives during this particular outbreak of the coronavirus. It is a unique opportunity for us as writers and historians to document this larger than life moment in our lives. I would like us to keep this as a running google document. This sort of thing has not happened to us in over a hundred years, so I think it would be quite powerful in the years to come to document our collective histories. I too will do the same, and we can share as we move forward. Please understand that you do not need to write about the Coronavirus everyday... some facts would be good, but not too much. This is really all about you, your favorite subject. Haha. What we are doing is documenting our lives, what we watched on TV, how we were happy to see one another on Zoom., we got some take-out food, or we got a call from our Great Aunt in Texas.
Just put the date at the top. For today's assignment and only today, you will have to develop the context of your journal. You will need to write about what's going on in the world, Los Angeles, San Pedro, etc. Why we are stuck home? and that sort of thing. After that it is all about you and your families. This will be an everyday sort of thing. If you can keep it up, it will be a real treasure some day. I will include a visual down below as soon as I can get one written.

U.S. HISTORY
History: watch 1/2 the video on Monday and the other half on Tuesday. If you have a hard time watching off of this platform, then you can search for it on YouTube.com by typing in "Liberty: The American Revolution Part 1" it should run about 59 minutes. Read the question below before starting the video., AND BE SURE TO TAKE NOTE OF EVIDENCE IN REGARDS TO THE QUESTION BELOW. I had planned for you all to watch way more exciting videos created by Crash Course, but the content always has a "word used" or a "graphic" that is slightly above grade level. Please watch the video below over the next couple of days. It is very good despite being a bit old and dusty. It should give you all a better idea about the beginning and the reasoning behind the American Revolution. Then answer the question below on Thursday and Friday:
For Thursday and Friday: Do you think the British's circling of the Boston Harbor was justified based on what the colonists have done so far? Be sure to use evidence from the video before explaining and elaborating on this question.
