Assignment 3: Create a Colonial Newspaper

In this assignment, you will work with your collaborative groups to construct a colonial newspaper about a particular event, person, or act that helped to influence the colonists decision to fight for independence from Britain. Each group will consist of 5 members with specific roles: Editor, Press, Writer, Illustrator, and Advertiser. Each role is dependent upon the other to complete the assignment. The goal of the assignment is to see how well you understand the influence of specific events, people, or acts that contributed to the colonists' cause. Your teacher will provide you with a scoring guide for your newspaper, an example of an actual newspaper to help guide you in your creation, and a detailed duty card explaining what is expected from each group member. Please see your teacher if you have any questions about the assignment or post questions about the assignment here.
