I want you to pretend that you are the subject of the picture and explain your feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Explain what is going on around you and what is taking place in the scene. How does that make you feel. Use your knowledge from the course to help provide evidence and reasoning for your opinions. I will post three pictures for each unit and only expect you to comment on one (limit of 7 students per picture) and to also comment on one of your classmates' posts of a picture that you did not comment on. The purpose of this exercise is to allow you to draw emotional connections and feelings to the course work which can aid in a greater understanding of the topic. Have fun with this and think of it as a role-playing exercise rather than an assignment!//

__**American Revolution Unit** - Remember to write about only one picture and comment on a classmates' post of a different picture.__
Imagine you are this American slave fighting for the British. Why are you fighting for the British? How does this make you feel?

This is like the first one. Look at the front of the boat. There is an African-American rowing the boat the is carrying George Washington across the Delaware to surprise attack the German Hessian soldiers. Imagine you are that African-American. What are your thoughts? Are you a slave? Are you free?

This is the British General Howe surrendering to George Washington and the American soldiers on the right as well as the French soldiers on the left. Imagine you are General Howe of the British Army. Remember the prestige and power that the British army holds around the world at this time. What is on your mind?
