Wrapping Up Thesis Statements: December 8, 2015

HOMEWORK: Today in class, we finished our work with identifying underlying causes of the Revolutionary War so you can write revised thesis statements tonight.  Here are some underlying causes we identified:

• The colonists and the British began using military action against each other.
• The British passed laws to punish the colonies and keep them under control.
• The colonists started to organize formally against the British.
• The British violated the colonists' rights with unfair laws.
• The British taxes the colonists to pay off their war debt.

I posted some sample thesis statement setups yesterday - look at those to help you if you need it!
