Political cartoons

I have my students create a political cartoon for the Boston Tea Party. At first I thought this was a difficult activity for the children, but you would be amazed what they can accomplish working in cooperative groups. | If you have access to Scholastic News you can introduce the concept of political cartoons. If you want to try the debate have the students create a decision making tree first. I know it helps my students think it through. In the debate you can give the students names of famous Americans or roles from Parliament. Maybe even have the children create a Mohawk Indian costume, while the | |
other side where red coats or British uniform. The more creative I become with Social Studies the more my students enjoy it. Finally if you haven't read it yet maybe do a simulation. I am sure you can find many on the Internet. Good Luck!
