PURPOSE:

The purpose of this lesson is for students to understand what life was like during the colonial time period and the journey, emotions, decisions, and mystery the colonist came across.

SPECIFIC LEARNING OBJECTIVES: (clear, observable)

After students study the various taxations and lifestyles of common colonists, students will be able to understand what life was like during the colonial time period.

After students watch the video on Liberty Kids, students will be able to understand what it was like to live in the colonies after the Boston Tea Party (The Intolerable Act).

Utilizing their notes and experiences from learning about the Colonial Time Period, students will be able to create a skit that represents an important event that occurred during this time (Boston Tea Party, Intolerable Act/ Coercive Acts etc.)

Students will use their knowledge and understanding of an event in the colonial time period to create a play or skit while working cooperatively in small groups of 3-4.

STANDARDS:

Subject Area: Social Studies

Standard - 5.1.C.F

Analyze the role political symbols play in patriotic activities.

Standard - 5.2.4.B

Describe the sources of conflict and disagreement and different ways conflict can be resolved.

Standard - 5.3.4.F

ANTICIPATORY SET:

The students will watch some of an episode of Liberty Kids. The episode they will be watching is called “The intolerable Act”. Liberty Kids is a show on PBS that depicts historically accurate events with real and factitious characters. It is a good show at representing the time of the colonial period.

INPUT/ ACQUIRE NEW KNOWLEDGE:

The teacher will review with the class the chronological events that led up to the Intolerable Acts. For instance the teacher will begin a discussion with the class about the Boston Tea Party. This, and the Liberty Kids video will spark their memory of what we were learning about in the previous lesson.

and/or

APPLY/ DEEPEN NEW KNOWLEDGE:

Students will create a short skit that either depicts the point of view of the American Patriots or of the British rule/ Parliament/ King. This will be with a group of 3 to 4 students. Presentations should be max of 10 minutes. This skit should focus on the events that’s happened after the Boston Tea Party. For instance the response from the King (Intolerable Acts), or of the American Colonists (Continental Congress). The student’s skits should use historical figures and accurately depict the events of the Kings decision to harshly punish the colonists or the decision of the colonist to create the continental congress in response to the acts. The teacher will facilitate by helping out groups by giving suggestions and ideas. Students will be graded by a rubric. Interpersonal M.I.

CLOSURE/ASSESSMENT:

Students will practice their skits and present them to the class. This should be a very fun task and feel somewhat informal but also taken seriously. The goal is to assess whether the students understand the content and feel comfortable with the information and sharing with the class. Groups that haven’t presented will present their play the next day. Linguistic M.I.

HOMEWORK: (Purpose- Preparation, Practice, Expansion)

The students will review paintings or images of the colonial time period (cartoons, settlers, soldiers, etc.). The students will use their critical thinking and inference skills, to predict or guess what is going on in the pictures. Using what they learned about the colonial time period, the students are to create a one page reflection on what they believe the image is about. Visual M.I.

EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT OF STUDENTS:

Students will be assessed on their content knowledge of the colonial time period, more specifically the events just after the Boston Tea Party.

Narrator: January 1774 London, England – the King of England is just sitting down to enjoy his cup of tea.

Baines: Your Majesty, here is your afternoon tea just the way you like it.

King George III: Ah, Baines, thank you, thank you. Have you brought me the news, too?

Baines: (a little nervous) Um, yes, but I am afraid it is not good.

King George III: What? What is wrong? Please give it to me.

Narrator: Baines hands the King a letter. The king looks it over, then spits out his tea!

King George III: Ungrateful colonists!! What is wrong with these people? All of the tea, all of it! They will pay! They will definitely pay!

Narrator: March 1774 London, England – Three important members of Parliament or putting the finishing touches to the first of what will be called the COERCIVE ACTS. The Americans will call them Intolerable!

Lord North: Okay, men, remember the king was very clear on this subject. Boston is to pay for dumping all of that tea. And when I say pay, I mean pay. Let’s hear it again, Samuel.

Samuel Whitbread: It is called the Boston Port Act. The port of Boston will be closed until all the tea is paid for.

Edmund Burke: Wow that is harsh! The value of the tea was around ten thousand pounds sterling! How will they earn the money to pay us back if we shut down the way they earn money?

Lord North: That is not our concern, Edmund! The people of Boston need to be punished and the other colonies should see what happens when people defy the king!

Samuel Whitbread: Edmund, have you been paying attention to what is happening in our American provinces? Have you forgotten? The Americans have tarred and feathered our subjects, plundered our merchants, burnt our ships, denied all obedience to our laws and authority; up to this time we have been mild and gentle in our treatment of the Americans, no more! Whatever may be the consequences, we must risk something; if we do not, all is over.
