8th Grade Redcoats v Patriots Capture the Flag

It was the Redcoats against the Patriots!  Students played American Revolution Capture the Flag.  In each of the six rounds, students examined the historical analogy between playing instructions and the revolution.  For instance, in one round, one Patriot was told he would be able to switch teams, since he wouldn’t get candy if his team won.  This was analogous to the situation of the African Americans who fought for the colonies:  they were not fighting for the same freedoms as other Patriots.

In the end, with the assistance of the French, the Patriots won handily!
