Write a Song: Students listen to The Rich Lady Over the Sea (Revolutionary Tea) and write their own
verses to the tune, focusing on one of the other events that helped lead to the Revolution (pp. 32, 33 of SB
Book; see Rubrics.)
Three review activities related to sequence of events and vocabulary can also be used as Assessment (pp.
34-36 of SB Book.)
Special Needs/ELL students can write only a stanza. GT students can create a skit to present their song.
Since this Smart-Board Book is a “Choose your Own Adventure”, students have to click on the arrows
instead of turning pages on the SB menus.
