Social Studies- We started a new Unit- Loyalists and Patriots, during the Revolutionary war. We are doing a debate soon. Some kids are acting as the character they were assigned. Some will be loyalists like Thomas Hutchinson, Lord Dunmore, a.k.a John Murray, or Jonathan Boucher, while others will be patriots like Benjamin Franklin, Mercy Otis Warren, and Samuel Adams. In the debate, we have to talk about the person we are portraying and have questions ready for the opposing side (loyalists, patriots).
