Some quick notes about what I'm doing in classes today:

US History I -
After a few heavy classes, we mostly focus on society and colonial identity in the early 1700s: who was represented, colonial economies, and relationships to each other. Students read an excerpt from Sarah Knight's travel diary c. 1704. We use it to talk about the diversity of the N Am. British colonies and their relationship to Britain. Fairly straightforward discussion that segues into lecture and sets us up for talking about colonial identity vis a vis the Great Awakening on Wednesday.

Second year is writing compound names and formulas for precipitation reactions and applying solubility rules to determine what will come out of solution.
