Jamie's Field Trip

Jamie with her Language Arts/Reading teacher, Mrs. Wendt.


Jamie and her friend, Delany.


Mrs. Wendt and Mrs. McDonald watching the students learn to use a musket (wooden sticks). The actor who was teaching them had them make sounds for each of the steps in preparing to fire the weapon.


These actors got the kids involved in expressing their disapproval of all the taxes like the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act. With no voice in how these taxes were spent, the people, who didn't have a voice in Parliment, became more and more dissatisfied with the King.


This man took us to a dark room lit with candles to participate in a secret meeting of The Sons of Liberty. Some students received reading parts as contributors to the meeting. He received a secret message from a British general's wife and led the students in a discussion about whether or not she could be trusted.
