French and Indian War Lesson


This lesson is designed to make up for some of the time we missed due to our later starter in this school year. Please take this lesson as seriously as you would a normal class. As you complete this lesson, you will be directed at certain points to stop and watch a film clip, to read a document, and to complete a chart.  Follow the steps carefully!

 

1.     Take notes on the French and Indian War PowerPoint lecture. This is a recorded lecture that I have uploaded for your viewing; its 23 minutes in length. The password is Stedman. Please note: I will check your notes for their completion.

 

2.     When you are directed to do so, watch the short film on the French and Indian War; it is 15 minutes in length.

 

Film questions: What was the name of each war? When did each war occur? What was the result of each war? What impact, if any, did it have on the British American colonists?

 

3.     When you are directed, read “The Paxton Boys Remembered” and answer the following questions:

 

·      Prior to the arrival of the Paxton Boys, what was the relationship like between the Conestoga native and the American settlers?

·      What did the Paxton Boys do to the natives?

·      What was the Paxton Boys further threat?

 

4.     Finally, complete The Acts worksheet from the Sugar Act to the Townshend Acts. We will complete the rest of the chart in class after we have had a chance to discuss the significance of this first series of acts.

 

This lesson is due on Wednesday, Sept. 18th.
