Read and ANNOTATE this packet for our next class and bring any questions to ask. Pay special attention to the embedded primary source, "Deposition of Captain Thomas Preston", as this will become our "baseline" testimony. Though this is a formative assessment, failure to read closely will certainly have a deleterious effect on your next summative assessment (TBA). 

Due next class.

Feel free to watch Tightening the Screws (part II), but this is optional.

3. How are the colonists portrayed?
4. What is the apparent purpose of the taxes?
5. How is the characterization of the U.S. President contrasted with the King of England?
   

What questions do you have?
