Students show creativity:

By researching and protesting the Acts of Parliament, students will use their creativity to explore and present those Acts which the colonists found unfair.

This activity focuses on early colonist resistance to British Rule in an engaging way. Students make a protest sign which explains the Act of Parliament and outlines this Act's unfairness to the colonists. Students can display for observation or give an oral presentation concerning their protest.

Following the study of the class's protest signs, students will complete a reflection sheet which guides students into higher level thinking concerning how these Acts of Parliament sowed the seeds of revolution.
