Thursday 03/22 Social Studies - Analyze Metaphors for The Boston Massacre, The Boston Tea Party, and The Intolerable Acts

Purpose: I can analyze metaphors for The Boston Massacre, The Boston Tea Party, and The Intolerable Acts as reasons for the American Revolution.

1. Connection: Visual Metaphor
2. Teaching: Today I want to teach you that because of the Bostonians' antagonizing actions, Great Britain felt they must punish the colonies.  Did they get deserved punishments?  Did the colonists get what they wanted?
3. Engagement:  Analyzing Metaphors
• Read pages 138 - 141 in the textbook and determine which illustrated metaphor goes with each section.
• Paste the illustration in the appropriate section of the Reading Notes on Interactive Student Notebooks page 57.
• Complete the “In History” section by recording notes comparing the illustration with the matching historical event.
4. Extension: “For Crown or Colony” interactive at Mission-US.org
