Tonight for homework you will be writing two blog posts. To successfully complete these blog posts, you must take on the perspective of a loyalist and a patriot. For each letter, you will be telling a friend/parent/imaginary figure about the signing of the Declaration of Independence and what it means for the British colonies in North America.
Questions to think about:
How would a loyalist feel about this event? Why/why wouldn't they think it is a good idea to declare independence from England.
How would a Patriot feel about this event? Why/Why wouldn't they think it is a good idea to declare independence from England.
Each of your blog posts should be about one paragraph (5 sentences minimum) but should also get your point of view on the issue across to the reader. You can post each 'letter' on the same blog post if you'd like.
Due: Friday, September 27
