Warm Up #2: In what ways do you have representation at Bulls? In what ways are you not represented?

Revolutionary Event #1: Benjamin Franklin’s Pennsylvania Gazette and the pivotal role of newspapers in the American Revolution.

How is the Revolutionary spirit of the press reflected in our lives today?

Revolutionary Event #2: Boycotts as a form of protest by the Sons and Daughters of Liberty in the 1760s and 1770s to stop using British goods and in favor of products made in the colonies.
