Conflict in the Colonies: Patriots or Loyalists

The lesson will begin with a hook activity where students will review the ideals of the Patriots, Loyalists, and Neutralists. Students will then work in small groups to work through a gallery walk where they will evaluate various scenarios to determine if the “colonist” that they are reading about is taking the viewpoint of a Patriot, Loyalist, or neither. The lesson will end with a class discussion reviewing the “colonists” presented in the gallery walk.
