Storm Day - BRAINstorm, That Is! December 5, 2016

Hi everyone,
Today in class, you were taxed like the colonists were in the 1760's and 1770's. I have to say, most of you did not take it well AT ALL!!

For tonight, please brainstorm what you know about the causes of the Revolutionary War.  Work on this for 15 minutes.  You will know you have worked for 15 minutes because you are going to log your time in and out.

This is a great opportunity for you to create your own graphic organizer!  You can organize it any way you like.  Some examples are:

  • W's organizer - set up columns for who, what, when, where, why how
  • Divide the paper into sections (quarters or thirds).  Label each section with a category - people, places, events, miscellaneous
  • Write a narrative description of what you know - could be what you learned from activities you did in school, what you remember from a field trip to the Freedom Trail; what you know from visiting the American Independence Museum in 5th grade, etc.
