3. Groupwork Activity SWBAT explain how proud British subjects of 1763 became rebellious Americans by 1775 by discussing 9 events leading up to the American Revolution. Students will rate the relative levels of “unrest” each event either causes or displays.

5. Unrest-O-Meter Process Divide into groups no greater than four or five. Placards will be passed from group to group at Mr. B’s direction (no rushing! 5 – 7 minutes ea.). Locate the event on the matrix (the letter after the 3.3_ ) One group member reads the placard to the rest of the group. The group summarizes. Group discussion to reach consensus on that event’s rating and rationale. When directed, pass placard clockwise (from a top looking down position). When all nine events have been discussed, adjust your meter to show no more than 36 blocks.

6. Criteria  8Intentional Death / Killing  7Accidental death  6Rioting & massive property damage  5Organized protest with prop damage  4Organized protest & demonstrations  3Petitioning & spontaneous protesting  2Complaining publicly, support seeking  1Pouting, complaining

7. Unrest-O-Meter Rating Criteria Discuss criteria to be used for ratings.

8. Class Consensus Groups summarize events while Mr. B marks an overhead Unrest-O- Meter. No discussion of rating, only clarification of event. After all nine events are placed, class consensus to arrive at 36 rating blocks. EXAMPLE ONLY

19. Unrest O’Meter Timeline The last item is Lex and Con 1775 You need to add 5 more events and place them in the proper year with pictures 1763 176617671768 1769 177017711772 1773 17741775 1764 1765

20. Unrest-O-Meter Wrap Up Considering the rising level of tension, pick five events that best represent that escalation. Place those five events on a timeline. Create a symbol for each event and use color to help describe the level of unrest. Horizontally place the symbols to locate the event in time, vertically place the symbols to show their level of unrest. Below the timeline, write out brief bullets describing each event.

21. Timeline Project, 25 points Combination Timeline / Graph (see rubric!) Choose Five events to depict the escalating unrest in the colonies. Place them to scale on the timeline. Use a symbol to show each event’s level of unrest (does not need to be a perfect “staircase”). Under the timeline, write a one or two sentence summary of the event. The No-Brainer rubric applies.
