Take on the role of a colonist in pre-Revolutionary America. In a letter to your (fictional) cousin in Great Britain, make your argument for the colonies' independence, using specific references to the reasoning and evidence in Henry's speech or Paine's text.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
A well-established claim that's clearly related to and differentiated from the claim you're arguing against
Relevant evidence that supports your claim and rebuts your counterclaim
A clear organization of ideas, including transitions between ideas and an ending that wraps everything up
You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one. If you haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.
Ask yourself these questions as you revise:
Did I establish a clear claim about the colonies' independence from Great Britain?
Is my claim clearly related to the claim in my fictional cousin's letter?
Is the evidence I've used relevant?
Have I given a solid rebuttal to the counterclaim?
Use the rubric below to determine how well you're meeting the criteria for the assignment:
