Brewing Rebellion

Students read a passage describing the Boston Tea Party and answer an inferential question about why colonists felt both angry and determined. They must use clues from the text to support their reasoning in a written response. This activity strengthens reading comprehension, inference skills, and evidence-based writing. The passage provides meaningful context for understanding the events that led to the American Revolution and encourages thoughtful interpretation of motivations and emotions.
