Bellwork: Brainstorm 5 things you remember about the American Revolution. Why did colonist revolt against the British? How could Enlightenment ideas inspire the revolution?
Directions: In groups of 4, read the selection by Thomas Paine, and answer the questions. You must answer the questions that are on your card I give you, but each group member is responsible for having all of the answers. Be sure to annotate your reading----underline where you got your answer from and label the question (ex: #5). We will discuss the answers to these as a class.
I will stamp this at the end of class. We will discuss your answers tomorrow.
