In this lesson plan, students will interact in a hook activity where they will be presented with a series of scenarios where their “rights” will be taken away by their parents/teachers. The students will be asked how they would react under these circumstances, the students can turn and talk about their predictions. The teacher will then present the students with new guided notes. The teacher will introduce the event to the students, such as the French and Indian war, and ask the students to predict what happens next. After the students predict the reaction of the king and the colonists, the teacher reveals the true historical reaction. The students will then be asked if they think the colonists were justified in their actions as an exit slip.
