Causes of the American Revolution: In a Boston Tavern, 1775

World War 1 play
This is a short play I wrote that compares the start of world war 1 to the dynamics of a school's lunch room. The countries have been transformed into students in this school who clearly are on the verge of battle. This is meant as a hook or introduction tool. It gave my students a chance to learn in a different way. It is definitely silly, but sometimes I find it helps to meet students in a silly place.
