[|Me] - I personally think they are brave in different ways. Annie is fearlessly brave. She doesn't think about the dangers, she sees the world in a very pure and innocent way. I think that is a brave characteristic. Jack on the other hand is brave because he uses his book smarts to problem solve and is wiling to protect Annie.

Revolutionary War or Wednesday [| Turned in] [|(0)] DUE:Mar 9, 2012 In her introductory letter to Revolutionary War on Wednesday, Mary Pope Osborne points out several "errors" in Emanuel Leutze's 1851 painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware," including Washington's standing position, the size of the boat, and the flag depicted. Introduce the term "artistic license" to your students, noting how accuracy sometimes takes a back seat to the portrayal of a feeling or emotion. How do these and other "errors" in Leutze's Romantic portrayal of this event communicate the artist's feelings..

[|Me] to Magic Tree House Adventures We are celebrating President's Day! We have read the Civil War and Revolutionary War book and are throwing in the Abraham Lincoln Book for good measure. We would like to know what our friends from Wales believe about our Revolutionary War. The European revolt for independence in America must have a different perspective in Wales than it has here in the states....We would love to hear your thoughts! .
