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.
  
• Is the book's title the right choice?  Find examples from the book to support this.  If it's not the right choice, create a new title, and find examples from the book to support your new title.
  
• Design a timeline for the events in your book.
  
• Top 10 things learned from this book.
  
• Create your own test -- multiple choice, matching, crossword puzzle, word searches...
  
• Design puppets and act out a scene from the book.
  
• Write a letter from one of the characters to a relative about some different events in the book.
  
• Create a poster advertisement for the book
  
• Create a comic strip or storyboard representing an event from the book.
  
• Write a different beginning or end to the story.  How would this change history?
