    Mr. Buxton,
    I am confused what a Cumberland Gap is and the Sentence construction on our study guide. On sentence constucion, do we have to write a paragraph?

    Elizabeth:

    I was confused too, but if you search it on the internet or in a book it will tell you. Search something like "What is Cumberland Gap?" on some good websites like...

    www.answers.com
    www.google.com
    www.enchantedlearning.com
    www.factmonster.com

    ...those are if your mom or dad lets you of course

    Elizabeth,
    The Cumberland Gap is what Daniel Boone formed as a path for early settlers to live in other places. (I think. I am pretty sure that is right, though)

    Also, where should we find the vocab. words? I missed a class, so I might have missed some words although I copied some notes from Hannah.

    MG-All the vocab was in the Southeast video. If you were gone that day, it's okay. Mr. Buxton said that we were going to go over that during class.
