Did the writing assignment help you learn about the French and Indian war?
Kinda sorta. It made me look into it more to get some information to actually write so I guess it did in the end.

Did the writing assignment help more than the films that you have produced or seen?
Not really, it was very informational but I didn't get into it as much as I do the movies.

Is there anything about the French and Indian war that you have a question about?
I would like to know about which fort may have lasted the longest or was the toughest fort.

The next subject we will be learning about will be the consequences of the French and Indian war and the problems that started the American Revolution. You will be making your last movie starting friday. Over the weekend you will have to get together or discuss with your group the lyrics. That is your homework assignment and will be worth points, of course! Would you rather be able to choose your genre of music or your topic?
I would rather choose the genre of music because it is easy to re word a song to include some historical facts.
