Creating a Rap about Summer
Most of you probably had a good time away from school, whether it was
an awesome vacation, hanging out at the swimming pool, or just
roaming the streets creating trouble. In order to understand your
summer history, you will be writing a rap (It’s only the 1st day so you
don’t have to perform it, but volunteers would be awesome) much like
you’ve just heard. Here is the information I want you to include (does it
look familiar):
1) The highlights of your summer
2) Any milestones or important things that took place.
EX. – I got my 1st job.
3) A really happy or sad experience
EX. – My grandpa passed away.
4) Any events that you may have remembered being in the news.

Biography – Queen Isabella
1. Isabella’s religious beliefs were the main
motivation for many decisions she made,
including her support of Columbus’s voyages of
exploration
2. Possible Answers: Isabella’s support of
Columbus’s voyages to the Americas because it
set in motion events that changed the world.
Isabella’s ascension to the throne of Castile
3. Answers will vary.
Biography - Malintzin
1. Malintzin spoke Nahuatl, Maya, and eventually
Spanish
2. Malintzin acted as an intermediary between
Cortes and the native populations. She also was
able to teach Cortes about native customs so that
he might be better able, on some level, to
conquer them. She warned Cortes of an ambush
3. Answers will vary
Biography - Estevanico
1. Estevanico’s group first landed in what is now
Tampa Bay, FL. Then they were shipwrecked off
the coast of Texas.
2. Possible answers: If Estevanico could speak the
dialect of a group, they may have trusted him
more and would be more likely to help Estevanico
and his group.
3. These will vary.
Biography – Henry Hudson
1. Possible Answer: Hudson traveled farther north
than any other explorer and mapped out many
unexplored parts of North America.
2. Possible Answer: Hudson was disappointed but
probably felt like he was close to the discovery he
was seeking and must keep going.
3. Answers will vary
Leif Erikson
1. There were many boats and explorers on the
expedition. They explored several different areas
of America.
2. The descriptions lack specific information about
the landforms and location of the places they
explored.
Primary Source – Slave Spirituals
1. “Home” in the first verse is heaven or death. This might be
home to the slaves because they feel they have no home
or safe, happy place, on Earth
2. “Coming for to carry me home” “A band of angels coming
after me” Tell all my friends I’m coming too “But still my
soul feels heavenly bound”
1. Because this song referred to a historical event from the
Bible, not to current slavery, enslaved Africans could sing
about their desire to be freed and about God’s will for
them without referring directly to their own situation.
2. This song has a sad, mournful, emotional tone. Enslaved
people might have sung it when they were doing
particularly difficult work or when they were suffering
from a specific injustice.
Primary Source – Slave Spirituals
1. Possible answer: Both spirituals might have
provided some relief from the harsh work, and
both expressed feelings and hopes of slaves.
2. Possible answer: “Go Down, Moses” would have
been more threatening because it explicitly
discusses the desire for freedom.

On this day, the President directs that the American
flag be flown at half-staff at individual American
homes, at the White House, and on all U.S.
government buildings and establishments, home
and abroad. The President also asks Americans to
observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 A.M.

struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center on
September 11, 2001.

A. This is a famous musical piece, sounded by the
U.S. military nightly to indicate that it is "lights
out", and also during flag ceremonies and
funerals, generally on bugle or trumpet.
“Taps”
–
A
History
The tune is actually a variation of an earlier bugle call known
as the Scott Tattoo which was used in the U.S. from 1835 until
1860 and was arranged in its present form by the Union Army
Brigadier General Daniel Butterfield, an American Civil War
general who commanded the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division in
the V Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac while at
Harrison's Landing, Virginia, in July 1862 to replace a previous
French bugle call used to signal "lights out." Butterfield's
bugler, Oliver W. Norton, of Erie, Pennsylvania, was the first to
sound the new call. Within months, Taps was used by both
Union and Confederate forces.
A bugler sounds Taps during the funeral of former U.S.
Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger in Arlington
National Cemetery.
Taps concludes many military funerals conducted with honors
at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as hundreds of others
around the United States. The tune is also sounded at many
memorial services in Arlington's Memorial Amphitheater and
at gravesites throughout the cemetery.

Biography-Samuel Adams
1. Samuel Adams demonstrated patriotism in his efforts
to unite the colonists in ideas and actions. By
bringing the colonists together to fight for a united
country free of British rule, he demonstrated a great
deal of patriotism for his country. The Committees of
Correspondence as well as the Boston Tea Party are
two major examples of Adam’s patriotism.
2. One major way people share ideas is through the
internet. This is a lot like a modern version of the
Committees. People from all over the world can read
about ideas and events online. They can even
become members of certain groups and exchange
ideas via bulletin-board posts and email.
3. Answers will vary
Biography-Crispus Attucks
1. Possible Answer: Attucks had taken a stand
against the British on behalf of all the colonists.
He had risked his life for freedom.
2. Possible Answer: Although Attucks was the first
one killed, he was not the first victim of the
Revolution. All the colonists oppressed by British
rule were victims.
3. Answers will vary.
Biography-Patrick Henry
1. Henry felt that it was wrong to tax the colonists
who had no representation. He also thought that
the colonists could defend their own land and
didn’t need to be taxed to pay for the protection
of the English government.
2. Possible response: I think Henry’s speeches were
his greatest accomplishment. He was able to
persuade many colonists to the cause for
freedom.
3. Answers will vary.
Biography-Pocahantas
1. Pocahantas helped make peace by befriending th
settlers. She also married a colonist. Her bravery
in begging for John Smith’s life made her wellreceived in English society.
2. Possible response: No, I would not have helped
the colonists because I would have been afraid. I
think I would have been scared to talk to people
whose language I didn’t understand.
3. Answers will vary.
Primary Source – Journal of Sarah Knight
1. Answers will vary. She would need to figure how
many miles a day she could cover. She would need to
make a travel budget to pay for food, lodging, and a
guide. She would want to dress well to protect
herself from the weather.
2. Answers will vary. You may mention her education
and her ability to ride a horse, her ability to endure
the hardships of the road, her courage in making
such a long, dangerous journey, and her adaptability
to whatever the circumstances required.
3. People could not travel faster than horses could go.
They had to stop to rest themselves and the horses
because the conditions were difficult. The roads
were not very good. Sometimes they had to stop
because of bad weather.
Literature – Colonial Poetry
1. She says that her love for her husband is more
valuable than mines of gold and all the riches of
the East. Rivers cannot “quench” her love.
2. Possible answer: Even though the students will be
studying the highest levels of science and how
the planets move, they should remember what
Jesus did for them. She says that Jesus gave his
life, though he did not have to do so, so that
humans would have the chance to be with him in
the highest levels of heaven.

Patriot Day – September 11, 2001
I. Patriot Day
A. Defined-occurs on September 11 of each year,
designated in memory of the 2,993 killed in the
September 11, 2001 attacks. Most Americans
refer to the day as "Nine-Eleven (9/11).
B. U.S. House of Representatives Joint Resolution
71 was approved by a vote of 407-0 on October
25, 2001. It requested that the President
designate September 11 of each year as "Patriot
Day." President George W. Bush signed the
resolution into law on December 18, 2001 (as
Public Law 107-89). It is a discretionary day of
remembrance.
Moment of Silence
On September 4, 2002, President Bush used his
authority created by the resolution and proclaimed
September 11, 2002 as Patriot Day.
On this day, the President directs that the American
flag be flown at half-staff at individual American
homes, at the White House, and on all U.S.
government buildings and establishments, home
and abroad. The President also asks Americans to
observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 A.M.
(Eastern Daylight Time), the time the first plane
struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center on
September 11, 2001.
“Taps”
I. Taps
A. This is a famous musical piece, sounded by the
U.S. military nightly to indicate that it is "lights
out", and also during flag ceremonies and
funerals, generally on bugle or trumpet.
“Taps”
–
A
History
The tune is actually a variation of an earlier bugle call known
as the Scott Tattoo which was used in the U.S. from 1835 until
1860 and was arranged in its present form by the Union Army
Brigadier General Daniel Butterfield, an American Civil War
general who commanded the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division in
the V Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac while at
Harrison's Landing, Virginia, in July 1862 to replace a previous
French bugle call used to signal "lights out." Butterfield's
bugler, Oliver W. Norton, of Erie, Pennsylvania, was the first to
sound the new call. Within months, Taps was used by both
Union and Confederate forces.
A bugler sounds Taps during the funeral of former U.S.
Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger in Arlington
National Cemetery.
Taps concludes many military funerals conducted with honors
at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as hundreds of others
around the United States. The tune is also sounded at many
memorial services in Arlington's Memorial Amphitheater and
at gravesites throughout the cemetery.
