Liberty! Time Line and Individual Book Project

Causes of the American Revolution (Timeline) -->  Students are working in small teams to research, summarize and reflect on  the events leading up to the American Revolution.  Posters are being created and will be presented.  A large timeline containing all the posters will be the final product.

Individual Book Project -->  Students are working on a short project focusing on a variety of expository books about the American Revolutionary War.  Here are some possibilities --

• Create poems to represent different parts of the the book.
