Taxation Without Representation

In order to have the students understand what the colonist might have felt about being taxed, we held a demonstration.  Jett was lucky enough to be the King of England, Kara and Taylor were members of Parliament, and Sammie and Nicholas had the popular jobs of being Tax Collectors.  Instead of using money, we used the much more valuable M&M's!  As you can tell, students were quite upset about being unfairly taxed!

Enjoy the Slide Show!
