We began class with a warm-up about the numbers of colonists who sided with the Patriots or the British.

Patriot/Loyalist Warm-up

Next, I gave students notes on more events leading up to the American Revolution, from the Battle of Bunker Hill through Thomas Paine's Common Sense, slides 1-10.  Students recorded notes onto their graphic organizers.

Road to the Revolution Notes (continued)

At the end of class we watched a selection from the HBO series John Adams.

Homework is: we will be outside during social studies class for the next two days on the ropes course.  Students need to wear warm clothing to school both days.
