Today in class, we continued with lecture and PowerPoint notes dealing with the build-up to the American Revolution (Revolution in Theory, Revolution in Practice). Specifically, we focused on the areas post-French and Indian War and the political acts enforced on colonists, thus resulting in British-colonial tension and catastrophic events (i.e. The Boston Massacre).

Tonight's Homework: Continue with Chapter Reading in American Pageant (Chapters 5-9) and finish working on the AP Chapter Questions (Chapters 5, 6, and 7). In addition, do some preliminary research on the interpretations of the Boston Massacre events (Paul Revere engraving versus political accounts (British versus Colonial).

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!
