9/10 Morning History Class

EQ: What is the Divine Right of Kings? What does Divine Right have to do with the Magna Carta? What does Divine Right have to do with Human Rights or Civil Rights? 

Today we did our EQ(s) and showed off the homework, which was to draw a visual representation of the Magna Carta. Then students researched some basic history behind English Democracy with the "English Democracy Scavenger Hunt".  

Homework: Write a one-page paper comparing the Petition of Right and the English Bill of Rights. Tell what each of them is (research! Use your own words!), compare them, and tell why each is a step towards Democracy. Due Tuesday, 10/30
