January Master Readings and Inspirements

Read: 1776 by David McCullough

This is the same book that Leadership used :^)

(You may also want to start on next month's master book for History/Geography-A Tale of Two Cities)

Inspirement

For your inspirement, I am simply asking you to take your apprentice or journeyman inspirement further. Dig deeper into the reasons for the revolution, or the people who were involved or the events that took place. I would like to see you use your talents and research to create something that could influence someone else to see the magnitude of what happened in this time. Remember, this is Master Class! I will not accept a Prezi, a 2-minute skit, or anything equivalent to that. Use your brain!

Here are some ideas that you can use, or you can come up with your own:

• Create a blog or webpage, or add to your current one--put up some thoughtful posts about what you have learned and why those things are important.
• Write a short story (or a long one--your choice) that incorporates what you learned and that can teach someone else about its importance.
• Write an essay about a person or event and how it shaped the revolution.
• Create a graphic novel that could teach someone what you learned about this time period and why it is important.
• Create a video explaining your research or telling the story of the Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence, etc.
