DAY ONE: RESEARCH FIRST COLONIST
You will choose your first colonist from the list of colonists on the "RESOURCES" tab above. Under RESOURCES, find a list of links to web pages you can use to research your assigned rebellious colonists. You may also use the mini-biography of that person in your Massachusetts: Our Home text book. Remember to THINK LIKE KING GEORGE. Imagine that you were the ruler of a country and some of your men and women were beginning to dislike you and your ideas. They wanted to start their OWN country in which YOU would not be their leader anymore! Look for things said, or done by these colonists that would anger you and you would want stopped. THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU WILL WRITE ON YOUR NOTES FOR THAT PERSON.
**Please have at least FIVE, but no more than EIGHT things this colonist said, thought, or did AGAINST King George**
**Please have at least FIVE, but no more than EIGHT things this colonist said, thought, or did AGAINST King George**
DAY TWO: RESEARCH SECOND COLONIST
Today, you will be researching your second colonist just as you had on day one. Use the links under RESOURCES and your Massachusetts: Our Home textbook to gather information. Remember, you are thinking like King George and looking for things said, or done that go against you, your country and ideas!
**Please have at least FIVE, but no more than EIGHT things this colonist said, thought, or did AGAINST King George**
**Please have at least FIVE, but no more than EIGHT things this colonist said, thought, or did AGAINST King George**
DAY THREE: DECIDE WHO IS MOST WANTED
You will use your notes on your two colonists to create a Venn Diagram. Remember that similar things thought, said, or done will go in the middle of the Venn Diagram. Anything they thought, said, or did differently from each other will go in their own seperate part of the Venn Diagram.
Now comes the real THINKING portion. You must look over the Venn Diagram you just made. You must decide who would be the biggest threat against King George. Do not just decide based upon how many facts are listed under each person's name. You want to decide who has the STRONGEST actions and ideas. Pretend you are the king looking at the profiles of these rebels! Who would you be most afraid of ruining your rein over the colonies?
Once you have made your decision, you must get a piece of posterboard. At the top, in black, write MOST WANTED. Under that, please write your most wanted colonist's name. You will finish this poster on day four.

DAY FOUR: MOST WANTED POSTER
Today you will be creating your MOST WANTED poster. This would have been something made by King George's men to alert others that the person on this poster is a traitor and has done wrong by going against the king. Colonists would be warned to stay away from this person, or they would be thought of in a negaitive way for being associated with this peron.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW WHEN MAKING YOUR POSTER:
1. Make sure all writing is LARGE and neat.
2. Most Wanted should already be written on the top with your colonist's name written below that.
3. Sketch a portrait (Head and shoulders) of this colonist and use a ruler to draw a frame around it. Ask an adult to sketch a light frame if you need help.
4. List all of the reasons why this person is Most Wanted by the king. Do not only write what has been said, thought, or done. You must explain why this is bad and damaging to the King George. *Please have at least FIVE reasons on here*
5. Write a statement on how this colonist will be punished once caught. (See the "Colonial Punishments" poster hanging up in our room).
6. Write a reward statement letting other colonists know what the reward will be for capturing and turning in this rebellious colonist. Please look at the list of possible rewards (things that would have been valuable to the colonists) we wrote on the chart paper this week in Social Studies.
