What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students explain how Anne Hutchinson challenged Puritan religious leaders and why they banished her. They describe how William Penn welcomed Quakers and other faith groups to Pennsylvania. They compare the two colonies' approaches to worship.
What Mastery Looks Like

Common Misconceptions

How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Why was Hutchinson banished from Massachusetts, and what did Penn do differently in Pennsylvania? Give one detail about each.
