Unit 2: The American Revolution

Unit goal: 

Students read texts about the American Revolution to understand the decisions and choices colonists had to make leading up to and during the Revolutionary War. Students express their understanding of the concept of "taking sides" and how, despite having different points of view about an issue or a situation, those engaged in conflict can still share common ground.

Objectives: 

• Build knowledge of the American Revolution through research. 
• Read, discuss, and write about texts. 
• Write a response that analyzes events that lead up to the Revolutionary War and determine if the war is justified.
  • Don't miss Live Sessions so that you can successfully meet these objectives. 

By the end of the Unit...

Students will write a multi-paragraph essay in response to the question: Were the colonists justified in declaring their independence and fighting the Revolutionary War?

Students will debate the following question from the point of view of a Patriot or a Loyalist: Was the Revolutionary War a war of freedom or a war of treason?

Students will read “Colonization and the Revolutionary War: The Declaration of Independence” and “The Landlord’s Mistake.” Then students answer a combination of questions.
