  1. What’s MY address?The Path to the Revolutionary War Kathy Cali & Jill Helms

  2. Learning Objectives CA History-Social Science Standard 5.1.1 Understand how political, religious, and economic ideas and interests brought about the Revolution (e.g., resistance to imperial policy, the Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts, taxes on tea, Coercive Acts). CA English-Language Arts Standard 2.1 Understand how text features make information accessible and usable. 2.3 Discern main ideas and concepts presented in texts, identifying and assessing evidence that supports those ideas. 2.4 Draw inferences, conclusions, or generalizations about text and support them with textual evidence and prior knowledge What's My Address

  3. So, what are we doing? • Pretend you are a political activist or English loyalist in Colonial America. • You want to let people know the impact of a recent speech, event or law passed • Make a postcard giving your interpretation What's My Address

  4. How do we do that? • Choose one of the examples provided • Create an “address” for your post card • The address gives clues about the meaning of the speech, law, or event. • Include a picture that represents the impact of the speech • Write a brief message explaining its importance. What's My Address

  5. Show me please! Dear Friend, Our news travels so slowly here in the colonies that need to form the Committees of Correspondence. Our members from different colonies will write letters to one another to keep abreast of the events brought down on us from the British Parliament. Boston formed the first committee in 1764, and the following year, New York followed suit. By keeping informed of these abuses, we all can support each other . Mr. Samuel Adams wants all the colonies to protest laws and orders issued by the British government. It will be great if every colony would boycott British goods. That will teach them to mess with us. Yours in the cause, Jill Helms Kathy Cali 1764 Gossip Way Communication, MA 14812 What's My Address
