Events+Leading+up+to+the+War

You will be learning about the events leading to the American Revolution and our Independence from England. You must create a page for this wiki which includes a written part, an art part, and a multi-media part. Your large group will divide into smaller groups to complete this assignment. First, decide who will work on each part. Think about your strengths. Are you really great at writing? Do you work better with technology? Or is art the way to go for you? Once you have divided up into demonstration groups, decide what each group will do. Add your names to the wiki under the section you will be learning about.
