Social Studies Group Debate Rubric 
Mr. Marino's Social Studies Group Debate Rubric
Before and during the American Revolution, many American colonists were torn between wanting independence from England and remaining loyal to King George III. Those who wanted independence were patriots. Those who wanted to remain loyal were loyalists. It has now come to a vote. Students will conduct a town meeting where they will debate and voice their opinions based on facts about whether or not they should join the revolution or support the King.
