I will definitely be using this in the computer lab.<br /><br />blackboardandbeyond.blogspot.comMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431223003621121154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234520836855164054.post-90884210622468647832013-01-29T20:55:20.037-06:002013-01-29T20:55:20.037-06:00These are some fabulous resources.

We felt that if they could understand how unfairly the colonist were treated then they might understand the revolution more. So we came up with an activity where we gave them M&M's (not to eat at first) We said that we wanted to reward them for all of the hard work they had been doing all year. Then it was tax time... We told them that there were many people and items that played a role in their success. So we took away M&M's for various items and services (paper, tables, glasses, pencils, teacher, clerks, and principal services, etc.) They were outraged. We were quite strict too. After the activity, we had them reflect on their feelings and it was interesting how they fell into the roles of patriots, loyalists, and nutralists. It was so much fun! :) I should blog about it sometime. lol<br />Sorry for the super long comment. :)<br />Antoinette4321Teachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704593923409212075noreply@blogger.com
