This week's HW

Tonight's HW, due Wed for Per 1,3, 4 and Thurs for Per 6, 7 (because of the 1/2 day on Wed), is to complete a Whiskey Rebellion Protest Song.

You can work by yourself, or someone else, but you will get one grade (same for both of you)

Choice A: Rap/Poem/Song
You are a group of very angry farmers from the West (Western Pennsylvania). Write a protest song in which you mention a few things: who are you mad at, why are you mad, why you will not pay this tax, what you will do if tax collector come to make you pay.

Rules:
1. You can keep the tune of an existing song, and rewrite the lyrics.
2. On your assignment, you should write down what the existing song is.

5/5 Accurate facts, shows understanding, creative, deep, thoughtful
4/5 Accurate facts, shows understanding, well done
3/5 Some accurate facts, some understanding

Also, I posted the Study Guide in my documents section (look the right of this post)
The quiz will be this Friday, Oct 9.
I'm available after school on Wed and before school on Thurs if anyone wants to review any content and/or ask any questions!
