As we walked back from Reading I realized everyone was silent at lockers and as I grabbed my books. Then the other kids said "shhh!" Then they all shushed each other it went on for the rest of the locker period. Well once we got our books for Social Studies we walked in the class and the teacher said " sit down class" Then we sat down. Then the teacher said "as you know people have been silent at lockers and that is because well they have assigned us to be silent at lockers...." "What!!!" Screams rang out... "Ok class calm down its not too bad, anyways we don't always have to talk, right?" The class then gave a sigh and we started learning. Today we were going to learn about the Revolutionary War. Which if you didn't know is the war when we fought the British and won. Well this was a whole chapter and now we are at the bit where they are giving many taxes to colonists. One of these taxes was on tea and Britain tried to force the colonists to drink tea. The colonist tried to rebel and they threw tea crates into the ocean. After we had read that part of that chapter it gave me an idea of what we should do. Also the colonist formed a secret group called the Sons Of Liberty so I made my own secret group called well the Students Of Liberty. At lockers we would meet at my house and whisper about how we will rebel against the teachers.
