Tea Party

A civilized spot of tea in the midday rests the nerves and quiets the noises in our lives.  It might be a nice way to begin our day, as well.  Is it better with cream?  How about a cube of sugar?  Two?

Small Talk?

As we sip our tea on this glorious morn, let us ponder the ways of fairness.  Fair?  What exactly is fair?  It's really not that simple to explain.

History of Tea

We simply must ponder the origins of this liquid refreshment.  Where does tea originate?  How was it discovered?  How long have people been drinking it in its current form?

December 16, 1773

On December 16, 1773, another "tea party" occurred.  It was one of the biggest events to trigger the full revolution against English rule and taxation without representation.

About old is the box?
Figure the age of the tea box, based on the year John Robinson found it.

How big is the box?
Find the volume and surface area of the box, using the rounded linear measurements of 10 inches high, 13 inches wide, and 12 inches deep.

Back It Up
Create riveting, high-quality word problems for the following numbers:
  • 92,000 pounds of tea
  • 340 chests
  • 46 tons
  • $1,700,000

​Estimate
How many cups of tea do you think that would provide?

A Little Comedy

With your group, make up a scene to present to the class.

Your scene should be one in which the Patriots do not understand what they should throw into the harbor.  Tea?  Another beverage?  The letter T?  Things that start with T?  How can you make your scene funny?

​Make sure you wrap it up with a good ending.

Is your skit as good as the video here?

Finally

What if Great Britain and her colonies were two people in a relationship?  What if one of the people became upset with the other?  How could the two reconcile?

Here is a funny little video that might help us better understand the disfunction that existed between the two.

​Watch it a second time to see if you can identify all of the real history references.
