Learning+Strategies

Learning Strategies: Tasks, or step by step approaching to retaining new information for a test.

//__Know the words:__//
1. Learn Vocabulary Words 2. Locate where the vocab words are used in the notes and understand their meaning for the sentence. > 1. //Indians were **allies** with France// 2//. "the colonists wrote a letter to the King to ask him to repeal this act because they thought it was too harsh"// "//colonists boycotted again and made their own clothes//" (examples of **protest**) 3. //Boston **Massacre**- started because a crowd threw snowballs at British soldiers// (definition of massacre:kill a large number of people indiscriminately)
 * ally- someone on your side
 * protest- to voice or act out against something
 * massacre- a killing of a people
 * militia- an army of ordinary people

//__Point out key facts from each category__//
ex: if there are four bullet points tell me at least two important topics
 * 1.) The French and Indian War**
 * Britain fought France for control over the Ohio River Valley
 * 2.) Taxes**
 * King taxed the colonies to pay for The French and Indian War
 * 3.) Battle of Lexington**
 * British soldiers saw minutemen there and someone fired a shot and so both sides started shooting, 8 colonists were dead, 9 wounded, only 1 British soldier was wounded
 * 4.) Battle of Concord**
 * minutemen surprise attacked the British while they were on their way to Concord, they shot the British from behind trees, bushes, and walls, over 250 British were killed or wounded

__//Cause and Effect://__
How is each subtopic **related** and does one event lead to then next one?


 * If it weren't for the French & Indian war the king would have never taxed the colonies. If the king wouldn't have taxed the colonies, the colonies would've still been loyal to the "mother country." If the kind didn't have to pay for the war there would there would be no need for outrage amongst the colonies. If there is no outrage then there are no battles, and perhaps America might not have been founded.

All of these events are sequential and related and very important in the founding of a country.
