Act and Taxation Research

In centers for the next two weeks, you will be creating a broadside for your assigned topic. You will begin by conducting research of the Act or taxation that was assigned to you.

On your broadside, you will need to have a headline and a hand-drawn picture of the event.  In 3-4 paragraphs, you will write a newspaper type article or announcement.

You are their reporter, or person who will be delivering the news to them about all the events that are going on in other Colonies or Great Britain. Given an Act or taxation, you will need to explain the tax to the colonists and what it means for them in their future. Please remember there are loyalists and those who will rebel against the taxes.
