Today, we learned more about the American Revolutionary War because it is a Massachusetts state holiday called Patriot’s Day. The holiday marks the date of the first battles of the American Revolution which began on April 19, 1775. These battles were in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. The American colonists from Britian began their fight for independence from British rule. The war ended in 1781. The United States signed a Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 (The 4th of July is a major holiday in the USA), but was not “officially’ recognized as independent until the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783.

Shark Writing Prompt by Raven Shrift
Popular Spam image edited for the assignment.
Today we are going to use a different point of view in our writing. Up until this point, we have been writing from the first person point of view (I this, I that). Today we will write from the third person point of view. (He/she this, He/she that).
In today’s photo, you are going to write from the perspective of the man on the rope ladder. Instead of beginning sentences with “I”, you will begin with “He or She”. Remember to incorporate as many senses as possible. Don’t forget to include emotions.
Most importantly, have fun.
