Revolutionary War Causes Unit Cause 4 Stamp Act (1765) Revolutionary War Causes Unit Cause 4

Why the Stamp Act? Britain still in debt What about the Sugar Act? Wasn’t that enough to get out of debt? Why not?

Stamp Act passed- 1765 Stamp Act approved by Parliament- British lawmaking group Taxed 3 Items Newspapers Playing Cards Legal Documents

Lesson Plan Students work in groups of 2-3 (already arranged by desk setup) Pass out stapled packet to each group Groups look at Document A (next slide) while teacher models how to read a historical document

Document 2 Teacher and students will read together trying to read like a historian. (Document on next slide)

Document 3 Students will read document 3 with their group As a group you will fill out the guiding questions (document 3 next slide)

Read Like a Historian Class discussion: Together Answer… Why were colonists upset about Stamp Act? Was Stamp Act unreasonable and unfair? Were the colonists treated like slaves? Were the British violating colonist rights? Some historians argue that the American Revolution happened because a few rich leaders riled up all the poor people. Do these documents provide evidence for argument? Is that believable?
