9/14/18

Today we debriefed our Road to Revolution Study and made sure we understood the main points. We also discussed the events' connections to the formation of America's core values and the ideas in the Declaration of Independence.

Road to Revolution ppt

Due Monday 9/17: Using your Road to Revolution notes and the Declaration of Independence, write a thesis statement that answers the following:
                      How did the events from 1760-1776 help to form our core American values and lead to the Declaration of Independence?
      You will then, using simple bullet points, give 5 pieces of evidence from the pre-revolutionary events and the Declaration of Independence (should be a mixture) that support your thesis. (Where are these values seen? How are they used? Where did the idea emerge?)
       For each piece of evidence, write one sentence that tells me how/why each piece of evidence supports your thesis. Don't just tell me the details or explain what the event/quote was or means. How does it support your thesis? What connection does it have?
