Rules for Class Today…
• You will be assigned a role, you must follow the rules.
• You need to be respectful of each other during this simulation.
• There are Kings (Queens, Governors, soldiers and colonists.

Roles….• King/Queen: You
run Britain and in turn the colonists… your will is law and must be followed.
• You will have your governors select which colonists finish which documents. This simulates control over colonists, taxation without representation
• Governors: You work directly for the King/Queen. You select which Colonists fill out which historical documents.
• You bring those answers to the King/Queen.
• You also have the benefit of getting those answers (you are the tax collector and receive part of that tax)

Roles• Soldiers: you are
instruments of the King/Queen. You make sure that the colonists are doing their jobs.
• You also have the benefit of getting those answers and punishing those who are not working. (this demonstrates the liberties that soldiers took with colonists)
• Colonists: You were born in America, and have never been to England, never met the King, but are subject to his will.
• You must complete the work assigned to you, then give your answers to the soldiers and governors. You may not speak to the King, and must obey. If not there may be consequences.
• YOU MAY NOT SHARE ANSWERS WITH COLONISTS

Debrief
• Write a reflection:– Based on your role, what would
your life have been like?– What hardships might you have
faced?– What could you do to change it?
What could you do to keep things they way they are? (obviously that depends on your role)

Road to Revolution• In 1776 most
Americans were hoping for a reconciliation with England.
• Thomas Paine (a corset maker) wrote Common Sense in n clear and forceful language that the time had come for the colonists to declare their independence.

Thomas Paine
• Their liberty would never be safe while Britain governed them, he argued, because the “so much boasted constitution of England” included two “constitutional errors”: monarchy and hereditary rule. Paine urged the Americans to create a new form of government - a modern republic - based entirely on popular consent.
