You are to report to the King the effects of the major Acts passed by Parliament between 1760 and 1775.  These include The Sugar Act, The Intolerable Acts, The Stamp Act, and The Townshend Acts.  In your account, you are to give the background leading to the Act’s passage and its effects on the colonists.  Lastly, you are to make a recommendation to the King as to whether Parliament should or should not repeal the Act.  You must justify your reasons with specific examples.  Your report may take the form of an oral presentation to the King (your teacher).  During your report you must use at least one form of visual aid created by you: letters from colonists, maps, colonial newspaper accounts, artwork depicting scenes from the colonies.

 Procedure for Task 1 

1. First, you will be assigned by the King to a fact-finding group.
2. You will meet with your group and decide who will be responsible for each aspect of the Act.  
3. Once you have been assigned your Act, you will research the background and effects of the Act. 
4. As you research, it will be important to use your note-taking skills.  Remember not to take down every word!
5. When your research is complete, you will create your visual aid or aids.  This is to be done at home, not during WebQuest time!
6. Next, you are to create note-cards from which you will give your presentation.  
7. Practice your presentation at home.  During your presentation, you may glance at your note-cards, stay focused as you would  be addressing the King and Parliament.
