Happy May! We are back at it and fully immersed in the American Revolution (and fractions!). I love this time of year leading up to our field trip to Boston! We are reading historical fiction novels in book groups that take place during the time of the Revolution, we are studying the events and people of the time and eventually we will be writing about a topic of choice within the American Revolution. Our overarching question is, "What is the story of the American Revolution?" and we are starting with a blank timeline on the back wall. Students will be exploring the different perspectives of different people using text sets- primary sources, podcasts, photos, songs, trade books, videos and making their own meaning of The American Revolution.
