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!
