Tonight's HW 11/12/08

Hello, APUSHers:

I know, all of you were absolutely despondent over the fact that we didn't have homework last night. So...

1. READ, and OUTLINE Chapter 5 in the review book. Boston Trippers, please bring your highlighters. You will score major points with teachers, administrators, etc., if they see you in the hotel lobby, or on the bus, with your AP book open, highlighting away.

2. CLICK HERE for the Video Liberty! The American Revolution: Blows Must Decide. Watch the video! It's interesting.

3. FINISH the questions we were working on in class today.

4. CREATE FIVE questions of your own, based on the video and your knowledge of USH.

If you haven't set up your PowerMedia Plus! Account, you're going to need to do that in order to watch the video. Use Passcode: yPNvYtchCh to set up an account if you have not yet done so. If you forgot your user ID, you can set up a new account as well.

I’m going to try to write the five questions based on the notes, I still:

1. What did the statement "even women had guns!" implore about the revolutionary war?
2. How did the king and parliament react to the first continental congress?
3. Had the other colonists not helped Massachusetts, what do you think might have happened? Would all the colonists stay separated?
4. King George III was said to occasionally have fits because he was crazy, do you think that this could have affected his reaction to the resolutions of the continental congress?
5. How did Britain feel when she found out that the colonists despised the British soldiers that were quartered in their homes?
