taxation

I did a similar thing to introduce "taxation without representation". Prior to my students coming in on a Monday, I placed "price lists" around the room. For example, 25 cents to sharpen a pencil, 10 cents to use the hall pass, etc. They got really into it and told me that it wasn't fair. We then had a discussion about it and how they felt. We then discussed the various taxes implemented during the Revolution time and compared how the colonists must have felt.Also, School House Rocks, makes a great video that works as a wonderful intro to this unit. It reviews the colonization time and leads up to the Revolution.
