1. French And Indian War

2. Perspectives
Each person in their group will explore one of three perspectives involved in the war – that of a Frenchman, an Englishman, and a Native American.
You have 4 minutes to read about your character and answer the questions provided.
The Frenchman will be the note‐taker and take detailed notes regarding the group’s response to each question
The Native American will be the summarizer and will report the details of the group’s conversation to the rest of the class at the end of the activity
The Englishman will be the responder to any questions posed by the teacher or class after the summary

3. Perspectives
You will take turns spending 1‐2 minutes introducing themselves (in character) and summarizing their answers to the questions for their group mates.
As a group you will have 6 minutes to discuss the following:
What issues or problems do you (as your character) have with the other characters in your group?
What do you want from the other characters in the group?
How can you get what you want?
What questions do you have of the other characters?
Based on what you have heard from one another, make a list of what you predict were causes of the French and Indian War.

Reps from the British colonies & the Iroquois nations met in Albany to discuss an alliance
Ben Franklin
Proposed that the British colonies band together & send representatives to a Grand Council (which could collect taxes, raise arms & make treaties) ---What does this sound like?

7. Results of the Albany Congress
Colonists were not ready for Union
Colonial assemblies wanted to keep control of local affairs
Colonists:
Not enough power for the colonists!
England:
Too much power for the colonists!
Albany Congress Failed
Iroquois broke off relations with the British & threatened to trade with France

Pontiac’s War ends in 1765.

12. Cause of the American Revolution Stemming From F&I
The Proclamation of 1763
Proclaimed that land west of the Appalachian Mountains temporarily off limits to settlements.
British Halt Westward Expansion to minimize costs in maintaining a military force to secure the Frontier.
Colonists upset. Especially those who had bought shares in companies or bought land in the newly captured territories.
However, this does create a fragile peace between the British and the Native Americans.

13. Cause of the American Revolution Stemming From F&I
Britain funds the war through the British Treasury and through loans
This relieves the American colonists from fronting the bill for the war.
After the war is over, Britain must settle its debts and pay for a standing army in America.
In order to do this they decide to have the colonists bear some of the burden for their own defense.

It greatly enlarged England’s debt
England felt that a major reorganization of her American Empire was necessary!
America

Both
It created bitter feelings that would only intensify

15. Road to Revolution Lectures
Drawing from the information you gathered from the text and the outside sources you consulted, in your groups develop a mini-lesson (up to 5 minutes) to teach the class about your assigned topic.
You may use the white board and other classroom resources to illustrate/assign notes/create a chart, have the class move around and be involved, etc. -- this is your lesson to teach.
Keep in mind your ultimate responsibility – providing your peers with important information about the event and helping them understand its significance.
Everyone must participate in the lecture.
Should be to this point by 45 minutes into class. Give students 10 minutes to prepare.
