day 6

Today we went on a scavenger hunt! We were told to go around the first floor with our devices and scan all of the QR codes we could find and by the end we should have 10. All of the QR codes contained information on The Battles of the American Revolution and we had to figure out what the battle was and what was the date that battle had taken place. One of the battles we learned about was The battle of trenton Which was when Goerge Washington had his troops surround the Hessians ( German mercinaries). They accomplished this by crossing the Delaware river on Christmas night. Soon after that battle The Battle of Princeton occured in January of 1777. The Battle was the site of a colonial victorry that gave the Continental Army the boost it needed. I think that this scavenger hunt helped us distinguish the different battles and how each had a role in each others. Some battles made the continental army's convidence grow, and some shattered it. With each win that the colonies were able to obtain brought them closer to their goal and they were not giving up at all. I think these battles cold be kind of a metaphor how life is, because we all have some minor set backs but we have other thing we still have to deal with and we have to over come obsticals just as the continental army had to keep charging ahead.
