**Monday: Acts & Events Leading to War**
Today, you'll be learning about the Acts and events leading to the American Revolution. Below are some links to pages where you can get that information. American Revolution Timeline Stamp Act Townshend Acts Revolutionary War Timeline The American Revolution

Your assignment is to review these pages and write three paragraphs about at least five of the Acts and the events they caused. Tell your opinion on how these helped cause the Revolutionary War. Save your writing as a Word document to your flashdrive. Name the file lastname_acts.docx and email a copy to me at teacher@teacherdom.net

**Tuesday: Timeline**
Today, using the links from Monday, you'll create a timeline that includes at least eight events leading up to the Revolution. They must be in chronological order. Be creative with the visuals! Search the Internet for a picture to accompany each event. Save the file to your flashdrive and email me a copy.

**Wednesday: People & Groups**


Today, you'll use the link below to select a person or group that was important to the Revolution. People & Groups of the Revolution Sons of Liberty

Using PowerPoint, create a presentation with five to seven slides (not counting the title slide, which should include your topic, name, and class period). Include both biographical information and their accomplishments (at least 2-3 accomplishments) in your presentation. Outside research is allowed, and encouraged, but be careful who you pick! Some people listed on the above page had only very marginal roles in the Revolution, or weren't involved at all (such as Abraham Lincoln). Be sure you choose someone you can work on. Save the PowerPoint as lastname_people.pptx and email me a copy.

**Thursday: Political Cartoons**


Read the link below about the first political cartoon in America. Join, or die

Now that you understand more about the cartoon, what it means and its influence on the Revolution, your assignment is to create your own political cartoon using Microsoft Paint. Then, write a paragraph explaining what it means and what point of view it takes (you can write a political cartoon favoring the Patriots or the Loyalists). When you're done, save the cartoon as lastname_cartoon.jpg to your flashdrive and your explanation as lastname_cartoon.docx. Insert the cartoon into the Word document so they're both in the same file and email that to me.

**Friday: Quiz**
It's time to take a quiz! This is an open-Internet quiz, and the site you can use is listed below. All of the answers will be available from it, though you'll have to be an efficient searcher to get all the answers in time. If there is time left over at the end of class, we'll present some of the PowerPoints from Wednesday afterward. Causes & Effects of the Revolution
