Continuing Acts, Taxes, & Events

You were given time to complete your charts by finishing your individual research & sharing with your table group.  We then went through some of it as a class (and I posted the key so you had everything you needed to better understand some big causes of the push for American Independence).

I concluded by explaining that our origins as an independent nature are rooted in the hatred of taxation.  We have elections every year (1st Tuesday after the 1st Monday of every November) and the biggest issue is always taxes.  It is such a dirty word that some consider it vulgarity (naughty = swear).  My slides are here.

The way you get to the online textbook is changing this weekend (or next week).  An email will be sent to you with instructions.  You should read Chapter 2 (lessons 1-2) for next week.  There will be another test on Tuesday, October 14th.  You will be allowed to use your notebooks & worksheet handouts (charts), but no readings.
