As we are learning about the causes to the American Revolution, we have been talking a lot about taxation and how the colonists were not very happy with the King for taxing them so much. In order to get the feeling of the colonists, each student received 10 pieces of candy (money) and the king (Mr. Sufka) and the Tax Collector (Mr. Zurko) decided what they wanted to tax the colonists for and how much they wanted to collect. Needless to say, we had some angry colonists with very little money left. Thank you Mr. Sufka and Mr. Zurko for your help!
It was fun, thank you!!! Mr. Z
