How did your research guide your plan? My research helped me because I knew exactly what to do ate each step of the way.

What information do you still need to find? Currently I know all the things I need to know.

What new information did you find as you planned? I found out how long you need to let the chicken sit before taking it out of the salt ( which helps preserve the chicken).

How do you think this plan will work with your group members? I think it will work well because all our plans have facts we researched.

How can you make sure every person’s voice is heard in the group? I think we just need to combine our plans so everyone will have something to talk and lead about.

For me, this project was nowhere close to being a challenge. But this was a great way to enter a fun year in social studies. I would have liked there to be a challenge option ifwe wanted to push our limits. I think that we could have just went right into making a timeline. Learning about AD, BC, BCE,  and CE did not really help our final project. Overall this was a great way to start a year!!!!

How did the events we looked at today lead to the cause of the Civil War?

All the events kind of built up into a civil war.

We learned the purpose of the deals and other things that built the civil war.

That gives us the schema about the civil war before the civil war.

How did the experiences of slaves first hand compared to what we have read about in the past? Were our secondary sources accurate to the slave experience? Explain.

Yes, both articles talk about them having a shortage of food and getting beat up and a ton of labor.

What was one new thing you learned from reading these stories?

That some owners had children with slaves and did not care for their children.

Did reading these stories from slaves change your perspective? How so?

No, I still think it was a  terrible thing that should not have happened.

How do you think that the stories of slaves relate to our essential question of “Why do people move?”?

Yes, because the slaves got transported here on ships.

Why did slaves move? Be specific in your answer.

Because they were forced to move to America to be a slave.

What were 3 causes for slavery? (this answer can be bullet points)

• A lot of land that needed work to be done on
• Some tribes had rivalries with the english
• When slaves had children they were also slaves

What did white slave owners use their slaves for? Why?

They used their slaves to do work. For example, some owners used them to farm. The reason they did this because it was considered “cool” to have slaves.

What crops did slaves harvest? Why these crops?

A lot of slaves harvested tobacco and cotton because those were very popular crops in the south back then. Also most slaves were in the south.

Where were most slaves from? Why?

Most of the slaves were from  Africa because the africans did not have a lot of things to defend themself with. Also England split up Africa so there was a lot of trading slaves for money and other valuable objects.

Why did so many slaves move to the colonies? Was this their choice? Explain.

The slaves moved here because their owners forced them to move here. And no, it was not their choice.

Why were there so many slaves in the colonies?

As I said before a lot of owners from England brought their slaves.

steigmann

Did you use the websites provided to you for this activity? Did they help? Explain.

Yes, they helped me because in some way (with some reading) I found my answer.

How do you think you can use your Cornell notes in the future?

If we had a test or a quiz about vocabulary for the colonies, I think this would help a lot.

What are 3 new things you learned from researching the colonies in this way? (This one you can just bullet point if you’d like)

That New England was settled by the British and the French, Debtors prison is for people who can not pay their debt, and that a lot of countries made all the colonies.

Why did we do this activity?

We did this activity because of Gev. Noorlander and Adon. Kaufman telling us to do it.

How did you research for this activity?

I used the cites on google classroom and I used google.

What were the biggest challenges you encountered during this activity?

Finding the colony that was founded by the French and British.

How did you overcome your challenges?
