Description
The American Revolution Simulation Activity Includes:
1. Presentation over the Enlightenment In Europe
2. Simulation of The American Revolution
3. Presentation of The American Revolution that focuses on why it happened and the aftermath.
The roots of the American Revolutionary War go deep in history. Starting with the birth of Democracy in Ancient Greece, those ideals are expanded on by the writers of the Enlightenment like Locke and Rousseau. Students develop an understanding of how the Enlightenment in Europe inspired colonial leaders to seek independence through this presentation. As the simulation begins, the leader of the British Empire gives a persuasive speech on why the colonists should have to pay taxes to the king. The Stamp Act decree is handed out to the colonists. The colonists meet and debate whether or not they are going to pay the tax or declare independence- which could lead to war with Great Britain. The colonists then give a speech detailing their position and reasons. War!
The emphasis is on Critical & strategic thinking as students try to predict the enemies next move.
