We heard excellent
arguments from the students defending the King's right to impose taxes on the
Colonists. I took that information and showed them how multiple events, decisions
and actions built up to cause the Revolutionary War. If you have not heard your
child's oral argument for the King, you should have your child stand and read
the argument as it was read in class. They were well written and well
delivered. After listening to it ask yourself this question? "How would I
refute this argument?" Then see how closely your response is to the one
your child creates (see assignment #1).
Assignment
1. Play the part of a lawyer for the colonies and respond to the argument you
made yesterday for the King.
2. Bring a nice printout of both arguments to leave with Pastor Rick. Feel free
to make them look like a lawyer's office made it up!
3. What events, actions or decisions caused the tension between Britain and the
colonies to increase?
