Social Studies ~ Mr. Fiorenza

This week, we will begin Chapter 4: American Independence by studying the French and Indian War and its consequences. Students will learn how competition for territory between Britain and France eventually contributed to growing tensions between Britain and the American colonies.

We will also explore taxation without representation, considering both the British and colonial perspectives and examining how these disagreements helped lead toward the American Revolution.

Homework: None!

We will then start Unit 5: Samson
