Ben turned in his homework assignment.As it was due yesterday, I sent him a digital copy and he completed it in its entirety and answered the questions exceptionally well. I requested he send a copy to my email, which he did after we reviewed his answers. We then watched a video about the cotton gin, whose moral was that technology, while often used to better man, can also yield unintended consequences. Ben commented that he likes to learn history that is not sugar coated as is customarily done in his textbooks. We closed by viewing a video about the Haitian uprising, an anti-slavery revolt against colonists, led by enslaved peoples in the French Saint-Domingue colony - now modern-day Haiti.
