Road to the Revolution

PROJECTS:

You have your choice of either creating a Film or a Power Point presentation on the following:

1) The different ACTS that Parliament passes aimed at either taxing or punishing the colonists

or

2) The different events that lead up to the conflict.  These would include the following: 1) The general uproar against the Stamp Act; 2) The Boston Massacre; 3) The Boston Tea Party; 4) The First Continental Congress; 5) The Battle of Lexington and Concord

If you do a power point you must have a picture that represents the either the act or the event.  You must include a written description of the act or the event: What it was and why it happened.  You also need to list the year that the event occurred.

If you do a movie, you need to have an enactment of the act or the event, followed by a brief description of the act or the event: What it was and why it happened.  You also need to note the year that the event occurred.

Grading:

1) Accurate and detailed information on the event or the act (25 points)
2) An accurate picture or reenactment of the event or act (20 points): Not if you reenact an event I expect more than an on-the-spot improv done to someone reading a script.  Improvs that look like improvs will receive a low score.
3) List of Date (5 points)
4) Professionalism and neatness (5 points)

Total: 55 points
