Using a colonist point of view, make a protest/boycott poster opposing THE SAME tax that you used for your propaganda poster. 3. When you're finished with your posters, staple them back to back (so one side shows propaganda, and the other shows protest). 4. Your grade is based on effort and clarity of your message.
