When Parliament passed the 1765 Stamp Act, colonists reacted with disbelief, scorn, and in some cases violence toward the hapless stamp agents assigned with the task of issuing stamps. Others chose to vent their anger in more creative ways. The above illustration known as An Emblem of the Effects of the STAMP appeared in American newspapers in October, 1765. As you can see, the artist who created the emblem was not particularly pleased with the Stamp Act. Design a Stamp that you think could serve as a creative protest on days when you think you get too much homework. Don’t get carried away though. Remember to be respectful toward your teachers.
Make your homework stamp design on a plain piece of print paper- you will find a pile on the computer cart. Use markers or colored crayons to make it look cool. Put your name on your paper and turn it in. If you do not finish, it is due tomorrow.
