Lesson: Taxation Without Representation
The photo captures Ms. Kibbey, a passionate history teacher, in her classroom with a mischievous grin. In one hand, she holds a basket filled with candy, and in the other, a sign that reads "Classroom King – Taxes Due!" Her students, wearing a mix of amused and bewildered expressions, watch as she begins collecting treats from only a select few—those chosen as "colonists" in her lesson. Meanwhile, a handful of "British rulers" sit comfortably, enjoying their unfair share without contributing.
Scattered around the room are posters with key phrases like "No Taxation Without Representation!" and "Unfair Laws? Speak Up!" Some students pretend to protest, while others scribble mock petitions. The interactive lesson not only sparks laughter but also drives home the frustration the American colonists felt, making history come alive in a way her students won’t soon forget.
