We learned the general structure of the atom. We also learned how the discovery of the electron and nucleus led to different models of the atom.

Bella reviewed SAT vocabulary being studied and took a quiz on the words. She was then introduced to a new set of SAT vocabulary that will be studied and applied during this week. She then read, analyzed, and discussed the next chapter of Escape from Camp 14. Bella then wrote a short essay explaining the reasons for the Chinese government's view that uncontrolled surge of impoverished Koreans refugees was unprofitable to their country. She also added her opinion and supported with text based evidence from the novel.

The First Continental Congress met in Philadelphia in 1774 and some of the famous attendees were: John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Jay, Richard Henry Lee, Patrick Henry and George Washington. The delegates voted to boycott British goods amid formed militias - groups of citizen soldiers. Certain groups of militias were known as "minutemen" because they could be ready to fight in a minute's notice. By April 1775, British general Sir Thomas Gage had several 1,000 soldiers under his command in and around Boston with many more on the way. On May 10, 1775, the Second Continental Congress assembled for the first time, but declaring independence was a long way off. The delegates to the Second Continental Congress included some of the greatest leaders in America. In addition to some of the distinguished delegates to the First Continental Congress, several new delegates (including John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin) joined the Second Continental Congress. The Second Continental Congress began to govern the colonies, authorize the printing of money, set up a post office and most important, created the Continental Army.

We discussed the breakdown of relations with Great Britain following the end of the French & Indian War. After the war, colonists were uncomfortable with the large presence of British troops that remained in the colonies to protect their interests. In the Proclamation of 1763, Britain prohibited colonists from moving west of the Appalachian Mountains. Colonists saw this as a limit on their freedom and it contributes to a feeling of distrust growing between the colonists and Great Britain. The French & Indian War left Britain with a huge public debt. To lower this debt, Britain decides to tax the colonists for things they had never paid taxes for before & it enraged the American colonists, many of whom had helped Great Britain fight to victory in the 9 year-long French & Indian War. We discussed the Grenville Act, the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act and the creation of the Stamp Act Congress. Patrick Henry of VA and Samuel Adams of MA begin to lead protests against British policies. In 1766, Britain repeals the Stamp Act, but Britain continues to pass further acts that colonists cannot tolerate: such as the Declaratory Act & the Townshend Acts. On March 5, 1770, colonists in Boston confront British troops. Although the colonists didn't have guns, the British fired into the crowd and killed 5 people and this became known as the Boston Massacre. We looked at the rise of colonial anti-British propaganda, the committee of correspondence, the Tea Act and subsequent Boston Tea Party in 1773, the Intolerable Acts, the Coercive Acts and the Quebec Act. A break between the colonists and Great Britain is imminent.
