You have just been summoned by your colony to go fight in the war against Britain and you just got to the point where your life was where you wanted it. However, you agree with why the war needs to take place. In a blog entry explain your last 3 days that you will spend before you go to war. Please include the following:
* Reflections on your feelings about the events that lead up to the war
* What you will say to your family and friends (it's fine to pretend you are an adult with a family)
* What activities you will participate in considering this may be your last chance to do some of the things you've always wanted to do.
* Explain your emotions about going to war
* Include important people involved in the fight for freedom that either have an impact on you or on your decision to join the continental army.
You may include a any additional information, but make sure you use your background knowledge to make your blog entry as realistic as possible as if you were actually there in the 1700's. You can refer to your notes to provide details for your entry.
Please title your blog: I'm Off To War...
Special Note: For you ladies, considering women were not allowed to fight in the army you may not want to pretend to be a boy going off to war. So, in light of this fact, you can reply from a mother's perspective who's husband or sons are going off to war.
Happy blogging.
If you need some help with background information, you can watch this video about the Road to the Revolution.
