In our 4th grade social studies, the students are learning about the events that led to the American Revolution. We learned that, according to the Intolerable Acts, colonists were not allowed to have town meetings. Therefore, the colonist, aided by the Sons of Liberty, had to devise a plan to announce to others that a meeting was being held. A red flag was raised to make the colonist aware that a meetings was to be held.
The students were challenged to signal a flag that would be the tallest, most creative, and free-standing. Points were tabulated to determine a winner.
