INTRODUCTION
To help us learn what the atmosphere was truly like in Boston during the beginning of the Revolutionary time period, you will be working through an RPG (role playing game). You will play as a character who travels to Boston and gets involved in the craziness there that eventually leads to revolution. You will make choices that have real consequences as an apprentice for a newspaper owner who has a very strong opinion on things happening there.
It’s hard to imagine what life was like 250 years ago, so the goal of this RPG is to put you in the streets of Boston to meet various people and get mixed up in the craziness that happens during this time period. You will be able to play feisty and rude to the British soldiers, or obedient without causing any trouble. At the end, you will take the witness stand and decide if you want to help the Patriots or be loyal to the British.
IMPORTANT: You will need earbuds/listening devices for this! It's much better if you listen!
