Tuesday 25 October The Westover Manuscript

If you were absent yesterday, please see me to make up the vocabulary quiz.
Still missing some dialectical journals from Friday.
And last week's quiz on the background material to 1750.
HOMEWORK for Wednesday. (handout given out yesterday). Make sure you have read the background information on religion in colonial America. Note the following for a quiz.
1. Forced religious observances- attendance and taxes
2. Why there was a "driving need for rule and regulation."
3. Why did the "colonists frequently maintain[ ] restrictions against Catholics?"
4. Who were some of the Dissenters?
5. What further complicated Christianity?
6. What happened "at the heart of the calendar...the Sabbath?"
7. In what two colonies "was toleration rooted in principle rather than expedience?"
8. What were the two functions of the New England meeting house?
9. How did New England deal with Dissenters?
10. What was the Great Awakening?
11. How did the Great Awakening contribute to the revolutionary movement that would culminate with the American colonies separating from Great Britain?

In class: we are going to construct a corroboration table based upon the Jamestown material, the Plimouth reading and The Westover Manuscript, as well as some images of indiginous peoples drawn by Englishmen.
Please make sure you get a copy of the table. It will not format correctly on the blog.
You will be using this material to build a paper. If you are absent, or wish a copy of the images, I'll put them on your flash drive.

Directions: NAME on paper!
Topic: 17th century English and Native encounters
Question:
On the top row: fill in the question, (question 1: what was the purpose of the colony?; question 2? How did the English treat the native population?; question 3: How did the native population react to the English? then the prior knowledge for each of the three questions; then source 1: Jamestown; source 2: Plimouth; source 3: Westover Manuscript; source 4: images

Now answer the synthesis question for each of the initial questions. Finally, where do the sources disagree? What new question do we have?
