Intolerable Acts and First Continental Congress

We wrapped up the week with our project on the events that led up to the American Revolution.  We discussed the several acts and taxes created by the British government, as well as the colonists' reaction to these laws like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party.

This coming week class will focus on the final steps towards revolution starting the Intolerable Acts and the First Continental Congress.  You were to read pages 152 to 157 in class, answering questions 3 and 4 on page 157.  You also need to read the notes below and complete the notes quiz.  This needs to be finished Sunday evening by midnight. 

Please email me if you have questions.  Have a great weekend!

Tax Timeline and Chapter 6 Quiz Prep

Great job in class today!  Everyone seems to be off to a good start on their CFA project.  Tomorrow we will continue working on the project and whatever is not finished will be homework for Friday.

My plan tomorrow is to work on our project and take our quiz over Chapter 6 Sections 1 and 2.  If we are not ready for the quiz I will push it back to Friday.  Either way here are flashcards for you to go through in preparation for the quiz.  Email me if you have any questions, otherwise good luck studying!
