From The Back Files: Ghana Session, Thirteen British Colonies, American Rebels

During a recent Ghana session, the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School students did presentations on the Thirteen British Colonies.

Each student was assigned a colony in which they created a power point presentation that explained the founder, the environment, business, and the quality of life.

Once the MLK students were done with their presentations, Mr. Wronko showed the students from Ghana a video on Rebels of the American Revolution. This video was from the Discovery Channel along with the following:
