RARE writing assignments

R – restate the question…

do not forget this step

A – answer the question

R – Reasoning

E – evidence/examples (from the text or your own knowledge)…a good answer has at least 3 pieces of evidence to support your answerSlide3

Other Comments

Do not use contractions (Don’t, can’t, I’m…)

You need to answer the question…you cannot just say, “The Age of Exploration is both positive and negative”…Who was it positive for and who was it negative for?

Do not use words like “stuff” or “things”…you can be more descriptive

Proper grammar, if I cannot understand what you are trying to say, you will not get a good gradeSlide4

What Happened On?Slide5
Slide6

Stamp ActSlide7

Review

The Stamp Act was a tax on all “stamped” paper

The British Parliament approved of this tax to help reduce British debt and pay for the army stationed in the colonies

For numerous reasons, the colonists objected to this tax.

The biggest reason of all: they were being taxed without their consent.Slide8

How are you going to respond to the Stamp Act?

Send more petitions to Parliament, making it clear that the colonies do not want to be taxed. Argue that colonists can and should only be taxed by their own representatives in their own legislature.

Organize mobs to threaten stamp distributors with violence and the destruction of their homes. If there is nobody to sell the stamps, if the distributors are afraid, then the Stamp Act won’t work.

Organize a boycott of British goods. The lack of trade will hurt the colonial economy, but it will hurt British merchants also, who will put pressure on Parliament to repeal the tax.

Call for a meeting of the various colonies’ leaders to organize a response to the tax. The colonies must be united in their response to the Stamp Act. Slide9

Colonial Reaction to Stamp Act

Colonial leaders asked gang leader to intimidate stamp distributors (option 2)

Colonists did hold a meeting, Stamp Act Congress, to organize the colonies against attack (option 4)

This event caused the colonies to come together and unite for a common interest.

Colonists boycotted British goods and severely hurt the British Economy (option 3)

They sent notes to British merchants urging them to put pressure on Parliament to repeal the tax

At Stamp Act Congress, developed a list of grievances arguing that only their representatives could tax them (option 1)Slide10

Repeal of the Stamp Act

British Parliament voted to repeal the Stamp Act BUT passed the Declaratory Act

The Declaratory Act said Parliament had the right to pass all laws, including taxes for the colonies.

British government was still faced with how to pay for the troops stationed in the colonies and how to get the country out of debt. Slide11

No Taxation without Representation

James Otis, a famous politician in Boston in 1765 is given credit for the saying, “taxation without representation is tyranny”

WHAT DOES HE MEAN?

The reason colonists had a problem with the tax was not because of the amount.

It was the fact that Parliament, who passed the Act, did not have representatives from the colonies.

The colonies were not represented in Parliament.
