This chapter is so long I had to make 2 parts! 😁

The chapter lessons are both attached below if you would like to refresh your memory.
 
Questions: What is your opinion on the history of slavery in the United States? Why do you think this? What is an alternative way the farm and plantation owners could have had extra help?

For your answer, you may either write a paragraph response after making your own copy of the document attached below
OR
record your answer (spoken as if you were reading a paragraph) on Flipgrid through the attached link.

Your response MUST have evidence from the chapter(s) to support your reason.

If you wrote your response, you must attach it to this assignment. If there is nothing attached, I will conclude that you recorded a Flipgrid response.

Use Chapter 1 (The Solar System) for your information to complete both tables.

If you have not watched the lesson from yesterday (Ch. 1 Slavery), watch that before starting this.

After you are finished decorating your bag, you are able to go to classmates' bags and write them a friendly Valentine's note (see my example on Miss Jenni's bag). You could also use one of the stickers or gifs as your note. Be sure to put who it's from!

Your sentences will be graded for CUPS (correct capitals/usage/punctuation/spelling).
