We the People of Ms. Bad's homeroom class have been doing a simulation about the American Revolutionary War. In the simulation, we have been doing many things like learning about what happened and also reenacting what happened using our class economy money and a little help from our rivals!
Our Rivals:
Our rivals are Mrs. Tabery's 6th grade class - AKA Queen Tabery and the Parliament of the 6th. The Parliament of the 6th put taxes on us, like the Stamp Act to make us pay for the paper we use, and passed the Quartering act when they took our desks and supplies. We had to pay $10 a day for the Stamp Act and also $10 for the British soldiers protecting us, even though they didn't even protect us. But with George Washington (Ms. Bad) as our faithful leader, we beat Queen Tabery and the Parliament of the 6th in battle (AKA 2 battles of Doctor Snow Ball)!
The Protest:
We tried to talk to Queen Tabery to stop taxing us but it did not work. So we decided to do a spontaneous protest. We went into the room and started chanting, "No Taxation Without Representation!" and showed them the signs we made. The 6th graders got mad or annoyed, including Rhett who stood up and slammed his hands on the desk.
The Learning:
While all of this was going on, we were learning a lot about the Revolutionary War. We learned about the French and Indian War; the acts passed by the British that angered the colonists; Patriots, Loyalists, and Neutralists; the Boston Massacre; and the Declaration of Independence. But we did not reenact the Boston Massacre because people died.
Check out the videos and pictures below for a look at what we did during our simulation! Comment on this post talking about what your favorite part of the simulation was.
