Independence Simulation in the American Revolution.

In class we are doing an independence simulation. To do this each kid in our class is given a fake name and details about them. You also are a part of a faction. The factions are Loyalist, Patriot and neutralist. I have the name Cornelius Van Renaslaar and I am a Loyalist. I am the chairperson and delegate for the Loyalists. That means I will lead discussions and speak.

I have really enjoyed this so far because I enjoy the American Revolution. Not much was hard for me because I read books on the American Revolution and I know a lot of information about it.

Marquis de Lafayette


“Hero of two worlds”


Marquis de Lafayette was challenged while he was outnumbered in Virginia against General Charles Cornwallis. In the same battle he achieved his main achievement. According to World Book Online “He wanted military glory when he came.” According to World Book Online “He sailed on a ship with soldiers to help the colonies. Without his help, America would still belong to Great Britain.

Literary Self-Reflection

I think I did well in getting my Literary Essay done on time and Publishing it on the blog. I think I did well on this because I was one of the first people to finish typing and publishing it.

Something that was hard for me was writing down information in the book. To get as information. What I didn't like was that I had to write information while we were reading the book Because of Winn-Dixie.

Narrative Self-Reflection

What I enjoyed about writing my narrative was I got to think about what happened with what I did with my brother. I felt that one of my strengths was thinking of what happened and finishing on time.

Something that was hard for me was, writing what I was thinking while reading. I dislike this because I enjoy talking to people about books instead of writing about it.

Science Expo Reflection

I played the part in the Science Expo of telling people about pH levels and making posters. I made the posters by  going online and researching graphs and information.
I enjoyed the Science Expo because I got to teach people about pH and learning things from other classes.
