I have been mulling (or thinking) over an idea for the last few days that should help the classes out. What I have decided is this: you will now be allowed to decide which JOURNAL question for the week to which you want to respond. That means you choose ONE JOURNAL QUESTION and still write the required one page front and back skipping lines. I'm hoping this will allow you more time to really think about the journal prompt that you choose to respond to. Your journal will still be due on Wednesdays!
Tomorrow is the Chapter 1-7 Quiz! Be sure to review your questions! Remember: setting is the YEAR and CITY, STATE they are in.

Matthew wants the people of Connecticut to rule themselves without the King's input or thoughts. **Remember, this is before America will decide to rebel against England in the Revolutionary War and take over ruling themselves (that happened in 1776--this is only 1687).
Many have asked, "What happened to Nat?" He comes and goes in the book. Keep in mind, he lives on a boat and the boat goes between Wethersfield and Saybrook through the Spring and Summer. Be patient--he returns!
Keep Reading!
