    The British and the Mohawks.
    B) Who were on the outside trying to get in?
    The French, the Huron and the Ottawa.
    RBP2) A) How did those on the outside of the fort make their way closer to the fort?
    They dug trenches to take cover and built ridges to shoot off the top of with their cannons from the dirt they dug up. And while some people were shooting for cover fire others were digging a trench and building the next ridge which they kept doing until they where closer to Fort. William Henry.
    B) Why did the size/weight of the cannon balls increase as they got nearer to the fort’s walls?
    The lightest/farthest cannon balls where for long range and cover fire and as they got closer there was less distance to cover and they had a better shot at knocking down a wall with the heavier duty cannon balls.
    RBP3) What does Nathaniel do in order to make his shots more accurate and fly farther?
    We didn’t get to this part in the movie yet.
    PK1) Tomorrow/today Nathaniel is arrested and charged with sedition, which is punishable by death. What do you believe sedition is, and why is it such a serious crime?
    I believe it’s basically rebelling in a verbal way against a large power which I don’t understand why it’s such a big deal since people should have freedom of speech, and many people say bad things about bigger power in the past few years and now.

    RBP3) What does Nathaniel do in order to make his shots more accurate and fly farther? He make it where he puts some cloth in it.
    PK1) Tomorrow/today Nathaniel is arrested and charged with sedition, which is punishable by death.
    What do you believe sedition is, and why is it such a serious crime? Because they didnt want them to hurt the good people.

  24. RBP1) A) Who were inside Ft. William Henry?
    The British and the Mohawks.
    B) Who were on the outside trying to get in?
    The French, Huron, and Ottawa.
    RBP2) A) How did those on the outside of the fort make their way closer to the fort?
    They dug trenches and used the dirt from them to make walls that they could set their cannons on and use as cover while they dug more trenches and built more walls.
    B) Why did the size/weight of the cannon balls increase as they got nearer to the fort’s walls?
    As you got closer to the fort the cannon balls got larger and heavier so they will do more damage and wouldn’t have to fly as far.

    5th hour didn’t get to this part.
    PK1) Tomorrow/today Nathaniel is arrested and charged with sedition, which is punishable by death.
    What do you believe sedition is, and why is it such a serious crime?
    I think it’s another word for AWOL and that is punishable by death because in a war you are needed and can’t just leave without permission.

    The British and the Mohawks.
    B) Who were on the outside trying to get in?

    By using cannons with smaller cannon balls as cover fire.
    B) Why did the size/weight of the cannon balls increase as they got nearer to the fort’s walls?
    Because they wanted to do more damage, and the most damaging cannon ball had a short range.
    RBP3) What does Nathaniel do in order to make his shots more accurate and fly farther?
    I don’t think 5th hour got to this.
    PK1) Tomorrow/today Nathaniel is arrested and charged with sedition, which is punishable by death.
    What do you believe sedition is, and why is it such a serious crime?
    I think it is similar to the term AWOL (Absent Without Leave), but it might also mean that the person accused of sedition might not be following orders.

  26. RBP1) A) Who were inside Ft. William Henry?
    The british and the mohawks were inside.

    B) Who were on the outside trying to get in?

    British and Mohawks

    So it will make more damage

    RBP3) What does Nathaniel do in order to make his shots more accurate and fly farther?
    Rap silk around his bullet

    PK1) Tomorrow/today Nathaniel is arrested and charged with sedition, which is punishable by death.

    RBP2) A) How did those on the outside of the fort make their way closer to the fort?

    **They dug trenches to take cover and built ridges to shoot off the top of with their cannons from the dirt they dug up. And while some people were shooting for cover fire others were digging a trench and building the next ridge which they kept doing until they where closer to Fort. William Henry.

    B) Why did the size/weight of the cannon balls increase as they got nearer to the fort’s walls?
