Journey though the American Revolution

Journey though the American Revolution Students Experience the War as a Soldier

This lesson is so engaging! This is a Google Slides Interactive Experience that guides students through the major battles of the Revolutionary War. Students join the war as a Continental Army soldier, and then they follow that soldier's journey to each of the major battles.

The Declaration of Independence - Close Reading and Text Analysis

This lesson helps students break down the complicated meaning of the Declaration of Independence so that they can grasp the overall meaning of the document. Students are provided with three methods for decoding the text. They use cooperative learning for reading and analyzing the text, they use music to understand Britain's reaction, and they draw little pictures to show that they can decipher the grievances made against King George.

Native Americans, Women and Black Soldiers in the Revolutionary War

Description

This unit takes students through the major battles of the Revolutionary War. Students will experience the revolution through a soldier’s eyes as they learn about each battle of the war and the major events of the war, choose the soldier’s “fate” and then practice their creative writing by discussing the experience. Students will also investigate the lives of everyday people who became heroes through the wartime experience. As a culminating assessment, teachers can have students develop their own movie plot line about the story of a real Revolutionary hero. I sought to make sure that this unit covers both the political and social history of the era.

Topics Include – The Battle of Lexington and Concord | The Battle of Bunker Hill | The Olive Branch Petition | The Declaration of Independence | The Battle of Long Island | The Battle of Trenton | The Battle of Saratoga | Valley Forge | Diseases of the War | Baron Von Steuben | The Battle of Yorktown | The Treaty of Paris – 1783

The lesson is linked to the NYS Social Studies Framework, but you could easily cut and paste in your own standards for your state.

NYS Standards:

7.3b.5 – Students will examine the events at Lexington and Concord as the triggering events for the Revolutionary War.

7.3c.1 – Students will examine the influence Enlightenment ideas such as natural rights and social contract and ideas expressed in Thomas Paine’s Common Sense had on colonial leaders in their debates on independence.

7.3c.2 – Students will examine the Declaration of Independence and the arguments for independence stated within it.

7.3d.1 – Students will explore the different military strategies used by the Americans and their allies, including various Native American groups, during the American Revolution.

7.3d.3 – Students will examine the terms of the Treaty of Paris, determine what boundary was set for the United States, and illustrate this on a map.
