Today was the second day of "Taxes and Protest". You should now be able to not only know various British Acts that were place on the colonists along with the colonial reaction but also how some of these events relate to one another. You should complete handout #5 to practice the cause and effect relationship between these events. On the front side of handout #5 the following three things go in the "cause" boxes: French and Indian War, Colonists being taxed and the Stamp Act. On the back side of handout #5 the following three things go in the "effects" boxes: Proclamation of 1763, Colonists being taxed and More and more British troops in America.
We also started our first role play. On this role play you will take either the role of a colonist or a member of British parliament. The topic is the imposing of taxes on the colonies. You and your partner will work together to compose a speech in the role that you have been given. The speech should last at least 60 seconds. A rubric for the role play can be found on handout #8. Role plays are designed for you to show you know the history of a particular time period and also to be able to formulate an argumentative speech and then to give that speech in an effective manner. Make sure you have your speech parts done for class tomorrow.
One more thing - handout #7 is due for tomorrow.
