Causes of the American Revolution

During the past several classes, the 7th graders have been analyzing all sorts of primary sources and propaganda from events like the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party.  They are using these sources to gather information about the events and to try to find if the information tells a biased story.  They have their first quiz about the causes of the American Revolution this Friday.  They are also creating menu projects on this topic.  Next week, we will start learning about the Revolutionary War.

Questions for your 7th grader:
  • Who is to blame for the Boston Massacre? 
  • Show me some of the images from the Boston Massacre and explain how they tell different stories.
  • Do you think the colonists had a good reason to fight against the British?
