Surrender at Yorktown 

At the beginning of this week, students will be sharing their research projects. The students have been informed of an extra credit opportunity involving this project. The student needs to share his/her google presentation with an adult, and practice the narration. Once this is done, the adult fills out a form (which the students have), and then it is turned into me on Tuesday. This is worth 3 extra points on their project.
At the end of the week, fittingly, we will learn about the end of the war. We will examine the costs of the war, and  long term effects of this historical event.
