I thought it was interesting that the British won the war, but the war was so expensive that their governments attempts to impose taxes on colonists to help pay the expenses led to an increasing colonial resentment of British attempts to expand imperial authority in the colonies. I find this interesting because they did win the war, but it ended up causing them more problems. For the writing assignment, I would rather do a blog entry. My Thanksgiving plans consited of family coming in and a total of three dinners. (: This compares to the people back in the 1700s because they also all came together for a big feast.

I found that section 4 was most interesting. I thought the effects of the Great Awakening on everything was pretty amazing. I think the Great Awakening was a good thing, because it made all people feel equal. I liked the group with Kelsey, Drew, Edwin, and Erica. I thought the time travel was pretty creative. It explained the lecture the best, too. I wouldn't say that I thought of the film while I was taking the test, but it helped me better understand and comprehend it better. I love the idea of a music video! Music is my life, so I'm very much looking forward to this. (:

Making films has become a lot easier. Before, it was so hard to think of ideas. Now, ideas are pretty easy. I also used to dread filming, but now I enjoy it. I even like spending 3 hours editing the films. We really aren't having problems now. We get a little stressed about the due date, but we are doing pretty good. The videos do enhance the lecture. It's a different way of taking the information in. It's a more fun way to look at it. Katrin was our leader and she was a really good leader. She made up all the dialogs pretty much. She wrote everything down, and kept us all focused. I would like to see her as our leader again for our last film. I would like to try and redo things that aren't that great so our last video can be the best.

The chapter 4 test wasn't that hard. I've learned that if you study the tests are pretty easy. Pages 126-128 I found pretty interesting actually. I thought the triangular trade was pretty creative. My topic for filming is The Great Awakening, and the old lights and new lights. If I could do my idea, I might have suggested to do a taping of a revival. Gilbert Tennent would be preaching, and mostly discuss about the traditionalists and how much he dislikes them.
