Today druing Eng Lit survey, I heard the song "But Mr. Adams" blasting out from room 219. I couldn't help but smirk and sing along with Thomas Jefferson, "Mr. Adams you have driven me to homocide!"

I LOVED WATCHING THIS IN CLASS. It made me so happy to watch something that was more something i like to do so it was very intertaning. All of the songs were funny besides the one about slavery that was just very scary. And i loved seeing Mr. Feeny too. This movie helped me alot during the test because i kept on going back to what i saw in the movie.

Anna! We both loved that song! We wanted to replay it! But yeah it did help me remember Lee. I also liked the song "But, Mr. Adams." It is very catchy and I actually sing it all the time at home! I really liked the movie 1776. It helped me understand a lot about the Decleration of Independence. I definitely didn't know a lot about why it was written and how that idea came into play. It was really good!

This movie was so great! If I had to read about the court decisions in a textbook it would be way too boring. This movie was super catchy with the songs and helped me understand what was going on throughout the movie. Each song had a main point to the days in the courtroom of 1776 and they help me remeber key facts from the movie

The song "Lees of Old Virgina" is by far my favorite so far! it is catchy and actually helped me remember that Lee is the person who actually proposed Independence because Adams is obnoxious and disliked!
