Class starts with a quiz over our OPP reading from yesterday. If you missed, you will need to make up by Friday--outside of class time. We watched a brief documentary video about the facts and fiction behind the Pilgrim story. Click below if you missed it. And, this is your homework assignment for tomorrow:
So maybe the story of the Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock and the first Thanksgiving didn’t happen quite the way we grew up hearing. So history has been twisted a bit to better fit the stuff legends are made of. We enjoy the stories nonetheless, and they are at least rooted in historical facts…and they have become a part of our national identity. Your assignment is to select some particular aspect of BGHS--something that is a part of our school's culture, campus, identity, or history. Take a little fact about this school and spin it into a more legendary tale. Create a great legend that explains its origins.
