HW Friday 10/9/09 Due TUESDAY 10/13/09

Hello, APUSHers:

Here's the HW for the weekend. In order to make things a little smoother, I will post all of the resources in a separate place. CLICK HERE FOR THE CHAPTER 7 Resources.

1. PREVIEW CHAPTER 7 by reading and outlining the Chapter 7 Notes. Just as suggested last time, it would be a great idea for you to print out the notes, highlight them, and then consolidate the information on to an index card. This will really help you a great deal in terms of understanding the information presented in the chapter.

2. READ, and Outline Chapter 7. If you completed step 1, you will find that this step should be MUCH easier! The audio file of chapter 7 will also be included on the resource post.

3. COMPLETE The Chapter ID's and Guided reading questions for Chapter 7. As you know, the chapter ID's stay in your notebook, and the guided reading questions are handed in.

Chapter 7: The Road to Revolution:

Big Ideas!

1. Following the French and Indian War, the British crown needed money and figured the Americans could help pay for the war.

2. Also, the economic policy of mercantilism dictated that England try to keep its hard money within the British Empire. So, laws were passed to restrict American trade.

3. The taxes and regulations that followed were not received well by the Americans, notably the Stamp Act.

4. Conditions deteriorated and radical patriots brought matters to a head in events such as the Tea Party and Boston Massacre. Even though most Americans would be considered moderates at the time, the radical patriots were the ones making things happen.

5. The culmination of the patriot's activities came at Lexington and Concord, when the American Revolution began.
