GEOGRAPHY CHALLENGE On your handout for Chapter 5, Toward Independence, complete the Geography Challenge seclon only (queslons 1-9). With a table partner, analyze the maps in SeVng the Stage (pp. 84-85). Then answer the following queslons on your handout and fill out the map as directed. Always use complete sentences.

MEMO FROM SDUHSD: From: SDUHSD To: All Social Studies Classes Funding for educalon has been draslcally reduced due to shor[alls in state revenue. The administralon has been forced to consider alternalve funding sources. Therefore, a new policy is in immediate effect. Each student in social studies classes will be required to pay for all photocopied materials. The fee will be 10 cents per page. There will be no exceplons. Any student who does not pay the 10-cent fee will receive a zero for the assignment. While this may seem a burden, it is absolutely necessary. We must all work together to solve this temporary financial problem.

PREVIEW It is now time to take a pop quiz. You must pay 10 cents for the photocopied quiz. If you do not have 10 cents, you can borrow from a classmate. Remember! If you do not pay your 10 cents, you will receive a zero. A student volunteer will now collect the fees. His or her fee will be waived for helping out.

PREVIEW Wait! This memo was ficllous! How did you feel when the memo was read? What were your feelings toward the district, the volunteer fee collector, and me? Explain. Why did some students decide to pay for the quiz? Why did some not pay? Why did this experience provoke such strong reac@ons?

PREVIEW The feelings you experienced are similar to those felt by many colonists between 1763 and 1775. During these years, a series of Bri@sh laws were imposed on the colonists without their input or consent. You will now learn about the issues & events that led the colonists to mistrust and eventually rebel against Bri@sh rule.

Braddock s march? Washington s escape with survivors? The BriLsh capturing Canada? 1. Why was the outcome of the war important for American colonists?

5.2: REVIEW 1. What was a patriot? 2. What was a loyalist? 3. What was a neutralist? (Those colonists who have yet to support either side).
