(Legislating and Mobilizing the Pathway to American Independence

You picked up yet another handout (Legislating and Mobilizing the Pathway to American Independence), but started class by completing a mini-review of yesterday's material by using yesterday's notes to fill in the "philosophy" boxes under Locke & Rousseau from yesterday's handout.

You should take 5 minutes EVERY evening/day to review material presented earlier that day or the day before.  This is how you move information from your short-term memory into your long-term memory.  We'd love to give you 5 minutes every day at the beginning of class to do this, and will do our best to plan for it, but it is not guaranteed.

You were each assigned two columns to complete, then share with your table group.  The hope was that you at least completed one side of today's handout by simply reading the Wikipedia entry for each Act/Tax/Event.  You can find most of your information in the first section, but may have to read through "Background" to find information for your "cause" box.  You'll have 20 minutes to complete the other side tomorrow, after which we'll go through it all as a class in order to make sure you got everything.  I'll even post an "official" key.
