Tell students to move to one side of the room if they agree with the first option or the other side if they agree with the second option.&nbsp;\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If students are genuinely torn between the two sides, you can allow them to stand in the middle. (But they will still have to say <em>why<\/em> they chose the middle!) 3. Once the students have moved to their side of the room, have them turn and talk to 2 or 3 people on their same side about <em>why<\/em> they are on this side of the room.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many students (especially middle schoolers) might choose \u201crebel\u201d just because they think it\u2019s cool. Encourage students to choose what they would <em>actually<\/em> do, and always have them support their answers with strong reasons.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call on 3-5 students on each side to share to the whole class why they picked their side.\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>IMPORTANT: Even though students are standing, everyone should be showing respect to the speaker by listening and tracking them with their eyes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Establish a norm that if students hear strong reasons from the other side that make them change their mind, they can walk to the other side of the room (or move to the middle). <em>When this happens, celebrate this student for demonstrating an open mind!<\/em>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat with another prompt. If you would like, you can have students \u201creset\u201d at their seats before reading the next prompt, but this is not necessary. (Try to keep this portion of the lesson to ~15 minutes.)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prompts&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your best friend tells you to back them up in an argument, even if you secretly disagree. Do you stay loyal to your friend, or rebel and say what you really think?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your parents set a rule that you don\u2019t like. Do you stay loyal because they are your parents, or rebel because you know better?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your favorite sports team trades away your favorite player to another team and continues to make choices that you do not like. Do you stay a fan (loyal) or root for a new team (rebel)?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A loved family member secretly did something that you know is wrong and hurt someone. Do you stay loyal to your loved one by protecting their secret, or break your loyalty in order to get justice for the victim?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A new mayor of your town (that you didn\u2019t choose) makes new rules for your town. Do you stay loyal to keep order, or rebel because you didn\u2019t get a say?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>*Throughout this activity, you might notice a trend that students\u2019 opinions on whether to rebel or stay loyal are contingent on how egregious the rule\/ argument\/ infraction is. This observation is important to the next inquiry. Also, take note of interesting points specific students said so you can reference them when you discuss the historical details of the American Revolution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Philosophical Community of Inquiry&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Framing:<\/span> During the American Revolution, people were faced with dilemmas about whether to stay loyal or rebel against the British government. Some people joined the American Revolution (Patriots) and others continued to support the British King (Loyalists).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Patriots chose to rebel because of:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Taxation Without Representation<\/em><\/strong>: the colonists had to give money to the British government even though they didn\u2019t have a say in decisions&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Trade Restrictions:<\/em><\/strong> the colonists were only allowed to trade with Britain and had to pay additional taxes on some goods&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Quartering of Soldiers:<\/em><\/strong> colonists were forced to house and feed British soldiers in their homes&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>No Say in the Laws:<\/em><\/strong> important decisions were made in Britain, far away, by leaders who did not understand daily colonial life&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Lack of Self-Government<\/em><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> colonists wanted to govern themselves, make their own laws, and choose their own leaders&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Violation of Rights:<\/em><\/strong> colonists believed they had certain rights (free speech, assembly etc.), but the King does not respect these rights&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>*Recommendation: write this list (only the bolded parts) on the board so students can think about it and reference it during the philosophical inquiry.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion Prompts&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>*Note: You should not use all of these questions.
