The New Nation Begins
We now start on our class Weblog. Here you will get a chance to express yourself without following the formula for formal essay writing. Simply read the following and then post your own answer. You should play off the question as well as the other comments that have come before yours. Your rules: 1 - you must sign with your first name and last initial. 2 - you must be respectful ,this is still school. 3 - this is still school so keep comments ‘clean’ thank you. 4 - aim for a ‘paragraph’ of writing. 5 - ask questions if you have any. Feel free to stop by and post more then once if you wish.
You are a teenager living in the new state of New Jersey immediately after the American Revolutionary War. Did you back the patriots’ cry for freedom and liberty? Did you seek a way to support your King only to have your future hopes dashed? Or perhaps you were merely living day-to-day and praying fervently for this war to end regardless of who the victors would be. Describe what life is now like for you in this new nation, your daily life as well as your vision for the future.
