Students can then go onto take different quizzes on what they learned. @http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/subjects/revolutionarywar.htm This site has different links on it that lets students read the different stages of the war. Some of these links include documents of the American Revolution, how we kept our independence, and a biography of William Prescott. @http://www.brainpop.com/socialstudies/ushistory/americanrevolution/preview.weml This site has a couple fun videos on the American Revolution including what caused it. The videos are fun because they are animated cartoons. After watching them you can do the activities they have for each video and take quizzes. @http://americanhistory.mrdonn.org/revolution.html This site is mainly for teachers because it is a great resource for everything that has to do with the Revolution. It has many lesson plans and activities for students to do. There are worksheets and games as well, along with resources for teachers to use such as video clips and Powerpoint presentations. [] This website has tons of information about the revolutionary war, but I chose this webpage in particular because it lists all of the causes that led up to the revolutionary war. This would be a great resource for students and could be used as an in-class project where students could be put into groups and cover a particular event and share it with the class. [] This website has an endless list of resources for studying the American Revolution. There are links to webpages that cover and idea related to the revolution that you can think of. It also categorizes these links into sections that can make it very easy to find certain topics, such as all of the battles during the revolution and important events that created “turning points.” [] This is a website that has a small biography on George Washington. This would be a great website for pulling information about Washington from and presenting it to the class through power points/worksheets/biography projects. George Washington was an important figure during this time and it is very important for students to understand his role in the American Revolution. There are also many interactive links on the page as well, for activities such as word searches and puzzles. [] This website has a great deal of information that goes in order of the events of the revolution. This would be great to use as a resource for creating a timeline in the classroom on the wall. Students could use this website to preview what will be happening next in history and the teacher can use it to keep on track with the lessons and events in the class. What is great about the website is that below each name of the event, there is a short summary of what happened that can be great for review for children, especially at home if they have internet access.

You can also create your own colony or town.

[] Revolution

This is a great site to get ideas or even use for activities or lesson plans. It goes into all the different things that happened throughout the American Revolution some things that were as famous but just as important as others. [| http://www.neok12.com/American-Revolution.htm]

This was a website that is great for student that need a quiz about what they learn without the teacher giving them a test. It also has little clips about the American Revolution for student to use a reference. [| http://edtech.kennesaw.edu/web/amrevol.html][|-] This is a great site because its kid friendly and had links to what you wanted to learn more about. Example is American Revolution from PBS, which then took you to that link.

Youtube.com Liberty’s Kids-movies

This is an animated television series about the things that happened during the American Revolution. I found this fun and entertaining like the magic school bus with history!
