Abstract

Learners will create a colonial character to explore 1773 Boston and gain insight into the underpinnings of the events that led up to and occurred during the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773. Using Bloxels, learners will travel the streets of Boston, interacting with different characters and learning about their concerns and events. They will also interact with British soldiers and tax collectors. Additionally, they will be given an opportunity to join the Sons of Liberty and participate in the Boston Tea Party.
