Events Template

If you are doing the EVENTS focused essay, here is a possible setup for your body paragraphs:

TOPIC SENTENCE - state why this event made the colonists angry and brought them closer to war with England.

BACKGROUND SENTENCE - explain the event/law - when was it passed?  If it's a tax, what did it tax?  If it's a law, what did it do?  If it's an event, what happened?

ANGER - Explain in a little more depth why it made the colonists angry.  Explain what they did as a result.

REACTION - How did the British react?  Were more laws passed?  Did other things happen?

CONNECTION - explain why this event brought the colonies one step closer to war.

If you write one or two sentences for each of these, you will have a full paragraph!
