Wednesday, November 1st Agenda
1. Warm-up: Begin working on triangular trade sheet
2. Review Sheet
3. "Election" about end of the week quiz
4. Discuss systems of voting / colonial government
5. Government Activism: Pick an issue and write a letter to a legislator about how you feel and why it is important. If there is nothing you currently feel strongly about, pretend you are a colonist and choose an issue affecting them.
6. Discuss topics of writing.
7. HW: Finish letter
Today we wrapped up our discussion of colonial trade from yesterday and transitioned to a discussion of colonial government. We worked on letters as a way of practicing political activism because decisions made by lawmakers effect people of all ages. Therefore, as future voters, you should have a say in what they do as well. Writing a member of government is perhaps the best way to have your voice and perspective heard.
