How did you get the idea for this topic?
We began to think about our topic right once our teacher started to talk about it and first introduced us to this project. In 5th grade, we made a booklet about the Boston Tea Party. Right then in 5th grade we knew we wanted to learn more about it. Our group discussed and we all just agreed on doing the Boston Tea Party. After further discussion, we thought that this topic relates to the theme Rights and Responsibilities in History because of the jobs and the laws that people had and had to obey and the time.

We first went to the internet and did as much research as we could. Then, we found some newspapers about it online as well.

We put our presentation together by all working together, trying our best, learning along the way, and giving everyone an equal part. We learned that working together is the biggest key to getting it done.

It relates to the topic because we got freedom from Britain. It also relates to the topic because of the jobs and the laws that people had and had to obey and the time. It is very important because if this wouldn't have happened, they wouldn't have gotten their freedom.
