American Revolution Project

Hey everyone. This is a reminder to continue your research for your colonial newspapers. Please email me if you have any questions. I expect that everyone comes prepared on Monday with additional information since you will not have time to finish the whole project in class. We will continue working on the project on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Declaration of Independence

Hey everyone. I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend! This is a reminder that for homework, you are to read the Declaration of Independence and answer the questions about the document. We will discuss in depth on Tuesday. Have a great rest of the weekend!

Common Sense

Hey everyone. Yesterday we discussed the impact of several events leading up to the Declaration of Independence. We discussed how many people still believed that the American colonies should not break with Great Britain. We also discussed the impact of such events such as the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the meetings of the Second Continental Congress, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Battles of Montreal and Quebec.

For homework, you are to finish reading the excerpts from "Common Sense" and the article by Charles Inglis. Please write down what arguments do both make for either breaking with Great Britain or reconciling with the mother country. Please email me if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great day!
