Warm Up: What was the Proclamation of 1763?

Classwork: Taxation activity. One student is king, two are members of parliament and two are tax collectors. Students are colonists and are given unfair tax laws and we discuss our feelings about them and how they relate to the American situation in the 1760s.

Exit Ticket: Why did King George III feel the need to tax the colonists in the first place?
