George Washington wasn't at the battle of Saratoga but the American victory there was still a huge boost for the Continental Army he led. My students are writing a Twitter post (no more than 140 characters!) as if they are Washington and are announcing the victory. This is a great way for students to summarize information and they are having fun doing it. I will be posting some of their "Tweets" on my new Twitter account, @Mrsslaviero.

Tonight's Presidential Debate will allow viewers to see both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama discuss issues that are of importance to voters. This is the first of three debates scheduled in October. The Vice Presidential Candidates, Paul Ryan and Joe Biden, will debate next week. We will discuss the debate tomorrow in class.
