Description

American Revolution Unit Bundle | Revolutionary War Activities, Primary Source Analysis & Inquiry-Based Lessons. American Revolution Bundle featuring 16 inquiry-based lessons, authentic primary source analysis activities, informational texts, historical investigations, discussion tasks, and evidence-based writing opportunities. Students explore the causes, major events, influential people, and lasting effects of the American Revolution while developing critical historical thinking skills through the analysis of primary and secondary sources. The included lessons encourage students to think like historians as they examine evidence, compare perspectives, evaluate historical claims, and construct evidence-based conclusions.

This engaging Colonial America and Revolutionary War curriculum provides everything needed to teach the road to independence from the French and Indian War through the Treaty of Paris. Every lesson is built around historical inquiry and incorporates primary sources to help students investigate the past rather than simply memorize facts. Students analyze speeches, artwork, documents, engravings, maps, firsthand accounts, and other historical sources while strengthening reading comprehension, critical thinking, writing, and discussion skills.

Perfect for 4th Grade Social Studies, 5th Grade Social Studies, 6th Grade Social Studies, American History units, homeschooling, enrichment, and upper elementary classrooms, this bundle offers rigorous and engaging Revolutionary War activities that align with best practices in social studies instruction.

THIS IS A GROWING BUNDLE - I will soon be adding The Battle of Yorktown, Women in the Revolution as well as other battles, review and a full unit assessment. Buy now, and you will be able to download those additional lessons for FREE!
