Week Three
This week's theme is Local History. The girls will be learning about the history of New York state, in particular Troy (the town in which Emma WIllard School is located) and Albany, the capital of New York state. They will be visiting historic landmarks and the New York State Museum, as well as writing essays. Our rhetorical mode for the week is Compare and Contrast, and the girls began to practice comparison with analogies and some brainstorming in Venn Diagrams.
Outside of the classroom, the weather cooled off (finally!) and the girls enjoyed a game of Capture the Flag. You can see the school's beautiful Gothic architecture (one of the landmarks of Troy we won't have to travel far to view!) in the background.
