Colony

During the class period, we read page 32 to 37 and colored a map for the colonies. Mr. Schick said he is not fully functional since he stayed up too late for watching game. After coloring, we answered review questions on the back of the book.

Presentation

Today we finish our presentation about the difference between pilgrim and puritan. Lily, Christina and Long all did a pretty awesome job. Later Mr. Schick ask us some question about being an international student. This is always my favorite part of class since it feels good to have someone who cares about how is it feel to study abroad.
