This week we have looked at laws passed by the English Parliament that helped lead the way to Revolution. Today, we will see how events such as the Boston Massacre, and the Boston Tea Party encouraged many to rebel.

Tomorrow, we will begin watching my favorite Revolutionary War film- April Morning
The film is about a family living in the village of Lexington where the first shot of the war was fired. Since you are currently reading historical fiction in reading, and many of you have chosen Revolutionary War novels, this will fit right in!
No work for today. If you have not finished this weeks assignments, now would be a great time to finish.
