In the group students discuss their ideas. After a short discussion time, each group selects a leader to share their ideas and promotes their position to the class. As an extension of this lesson students can review other chapters and analyze how the author uses the song at the beginning of each part to tie the chapters together. Quotes: Chapters 9 “God’s teeth! I will not drink sassafras tea! Does she think me a savage? Ethan Maguire shoved a cup of the Indian herb tea at Nathaniel. “Then go tell that wench of a wife of mine that I’ll have none of this substitute. I don’t care that there’s a three pence tax per pound. I don’t care what the ruffians say about protesting British doings in Boston. Where is the liberty they speak of, when I can’t even choose for myself what tea to drink of a morning?” Do they really think that by not drinking tea or refusing to buy English goods the greatest empire in the world is going to bow down and change?”
