The British Are Taking Over


The British troops are taking over our things. We also feel like they're trying to steal our land. We are totally scared. The general came in to scream at us and drink our tea. Then the soldiers told us to give them our things. Some of us were sitting on the floor and some of us were standing up. We felt furious. There are even people talking about fighting for their freedom.

"When they told me to get out my seat I felt sad." -Denise

"The Quartering Act makes me sick." -Aaron

"When the troops came in I was worried." -Jasmine

"When they came in I was mad and when they come back I'm not going to let them sit in my seat." -Arianna

  1. Oh my gosh! I was in the Media Center when I heard the British were coming! So I jumped on your blog to get an update and sure enough I discovered there was an invasion in your classroom! Oh my goodness! :-(

    By the look of the facial expressions looks like the encounter were a bit troublesome. Did the British take any personal items? I too would be furious!

    What do you think will happen next?

  2. The British troops didn't take anything yesterday but today they did. Today they took away some of our tea cups and a few other things...

    We are worried that they will come back tomorrow and take more stuff.
