JOURNAL HOMEWORK FOR WEEKEND AND MON, 10/6

In class we are teaching each other summaries for pre-United States history in the colonies. Each student or team is responsible for learning and sharing a different section in the text. As students teach each other, the rest of class takes notes (review of basic note-taking skills covered Fri, 10/3, in preparation for addressing the prompts below.

Select one of the following questions on which to reflect in your journal over the weekend and another question to write about Monday. These two journals will be shared in class Tuesday morning. After Tuesday's class topic (to be described here next week), we will use on of the journal entries to review paragraph structure and its applications for cultural studies - history content and purposes.

AGAIN, SELECT ONE OF THESE TOPICS FOR EACH OF THE TWO ENTRIES, PLEASE:
1) What tensions are building in the colonies that other students taught you about today in class?

2) WHY are these tensions building in the colonies?

3) What do you predict will be the results of this rising tension?

4) Are the colonists justified in their growing resentment? Why do you believe that they are justified or not?
