Class Experience

Learners will explore events surrounding The Edenton Tea Party, the 1774 resolution signed by 51 local North Carolina women, pledging to boycott English tea and cloth. Through a slide presentation, students will compare this action to the better known Boston Tea Party.

Students will sharpen their skills of evaluating sources, looking at points of view, understanding historical significance and making comparisons as we learn about the Edenton Tea Party and the Boston Tea Party.

I have a degree in secondary social studies education, and 14 years of classroom teaching experience, both in public schools and homeschool enrichment classes.

Students will need something to write with. A one-page worksheet will be available to download before class begins.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
