The tax activity was interesting and fun.So..I’m guessing your confused?Here,let me explain.The tax activity is based of of well,back then when the colonists thought the taxes were unfair.(Unfair:Not equal or,Not fair EX:”Hey he has more candy than me that is so unfair !”) Anyways,we each got 10 pieces of candy in a plastic cup.Mrs.Mcfall said things we might have and we had to pay taxes for it.EX:If you have a pencil on your desk pay me 2 candies or,if you have glasses pay me 3 candies.

Also,I had 2 of the things/items she called out!But,I had 4 candies In the end,I had to pay 6 candies from:If you have a pencil on your desk pay me 2 candies and,If you have tie shoes pay me 4 candies 4+2=6.I learned that back then it the colonists didn’t have equal rights they had kings…not presidents.It’s hard to think that they didn’t “have the right” to do what they wanted.That’s just how it was and…..they lived with it.

 

Now do you understand?I thought you would!Anyways,that                        was the one and only      “Candy tax activity!’
