Launch: Students required to have a specific lunch item, complaints result in a different food, but still no choice. Some students want to fight it, while others are against it, and others are indifferent. Cold lunch is "smuggled in." Eventually a small group decides to throw away the one required food, resulting in punishments. Students wouldn't immediately go down to throw it out, but they would have to go through a series of other attempts before they finally had to make a permanent move. Maybe have a student who is in on it to play a role in the lesson. Connect to Boston Tea Party: Relate

Creation of the "Lunch Act."

Poster of the Act T: Reads the memo from the state, allows time for students to process this. "What do you think about this?" " Students' initial reaction: write a letter to the lunch service. (have a response letter prepared). What is something else you could do? [individual] What is something you and your friends could do? [partners] What if that didn't work? What could you as a class do? [small group] What if that didn't work? What could the fifth grade do? [large group/ class] "What if there were no more hot dogs to serve?" [If they aren't getting to this]
