Description
Students will read and analyze 2 primary sources on the Boston Tea Party from the American Revolution (Revolutionary War) by answering 12 questions for one and 17 for the other. They will also analyze 5 images according to 7 prompts. Time permitting, there are up to 4 extension tasks for students to complete.
The answers (where appropriate) and a teacher information page are included so this would be great for a sub!
***UPDATED to include a compare and contrast extension task (with examples!).***
Sample questions include:
--Explain the connection between the French and Indian War and the colonists getting closer to declaring independence.
--Why do you think "no attempt was made to resist" [the patriots]?
--What purpose would it have served Hewes and others in his situation to only know Leonard Pitt’s name?
--What does the collection of people described say about the cause at hand?
--Citing evidence from the text, which side of the debate was Mr. Rotch on?
--To what extent can this account be considered impartial and why?
--Identify the similarities and differences between the images. Why are there multiple images representing the same event?
