The Tolerable Acts - Having Fun With the Intolerable Acts

Students play the role as a member of Parliament who has serious concerns about the Intolerable Act. Instead, he or she argues that England should make immediate peace with the colonies by issuing a set of acts designed to reward them called the “Tolerable Acts.” Students must think of five acts that reward the colonists (such as Parliament erecting a statue of George Washington in front of Buckingham Palace).
