The King's Smarties

TCMS MERIT

Students in Mrs. Floyd's eighth-grade Georgia Studies classes participated in a simulation where they were taxed on their pay, using Smarties, by the king and his tax collectors. The students discussed the injustice of taxation without representation as an introduction to their unit on the American Revolution.

Pictured below is the king, Fisher Clements, and his tax collector, Bishop Jackson, as he collects taxes from citizens, Ayden Webb and Caden Reagan.
