Process

Once you have completed taking your Cornell notes for each of the nine events, choose one of the following activities:

Choice 1- Create 10 equal size boxes on a 12X18 piece of white construction paper.  (I will provide this for you.)  Each box should have the title of the event, a summary of the event, (Use your Cornell Notes to write a summary that includes a topic sentence, supporting details and a concluding sentence that states why each event was a precursor to the war.) and a picture that correlates with the event.  The 10^th box should be used for the title of your project (Events Leading up to the Revolutionary War), your name, date and period.

Choice 2 (more challenging) – Prepare a journal from the perspective of a colonist  living during these times.  Decide whether or not you will be writing from the perspective of a Loyalist or a Patriot.  Make a journal entry for each of the 9 events.  Each entry should be written in the first person and should thoroughly summarize the event and include the feelings that you are experiencing as these events are taking place.
