Students,

Today we took a breather from PPT and enjoyed the PBS documentary Liberty: Reluctant Revolutionaries. This documentary exposes both sides of the lead up to the revolution showing us that both sides American and British share the blame for the distrust and resentment held between the two.  For Homework tonight please review your notes and respond to one of the prompts below.

Instructions: please type your reply and keep the length between 150-250 words. You may post your response on the blog or you may print it out. If you print, do not forget to include a full heading (name, class / period, date) on the left hand margin. The assignment number will be 3. This will be due on Monday October 3rd!

Prompt 1:

During the decade before the outbreak of war, what were the two major attitudes of the colonists toward Parliament and the British Empire?

Prompt 2: 

What could have prevented the colonists' declaring independence and going to war?


If you completely zoned out during the video here is a link for you to refresh your memory:
