timeline
Essential Question:
What were the causes of the American Revolution?
What was the aftermath of the American Revolution?
Guiding Questions:
When did it occur?
Who was involved?
What was the important outcome?
Who won the battle?
What are important parts of timelines?
What does a timeline tell us?
How did the American Revolution progress over time?
Lesson Development (activities, discussion, and vocabulary):
1. Show students Schoolhouse Rock "Shot Hear Round the World" to introduce the battle research lesson.
2. Open the interactive American Revolution timeline on computers and/or iPads (there is an app as well). Allow students 10 minutes to play with the interactive timeline and immediately follow up with reviewing the most important parts of timelines.
3. Students will spend the entire class doing independent research. They have been studying who was involved in the Revolutionary War and all of the many events leading up to it, so it will be their job to study each of the major battles from the war and create a timeline. This timeline based on the independent research will be used as their final assessment of making sense of the process of the Revolution. Students will use the Power Point below to review the 12 most important battles and events of the American Revolution. The Power Point can be printed or accessed on each student's individual computer or iPad.
4. Students must answer the following questions in their timeline and will have a checklist to guide them: When did it occur? (This will be part of plotting of the event.) Who was involved? Who won the battle? What was the most important outcome?
*5. Students must plot all 12 dates and answer the addition questions under or above the date. They must add pictures and color as well, as it is their final assessment. This can be done with colored pencils or thin markers and depict at least 3 important parts of the timeline. The final product will use at least 2 pieces of paper and will be laminated for the students, so they should make it neat and colorful.
