Road to the Revolutionary War

We are working on the Revolutionary War right now in my 5th grade class.  Since our 5th grade Social Studies textbook is not the best in the world (reading level is about 8th grade and the content is hit or miss), I find myself creating a lot of the materials we use in class. When we read out of the book, it is usually just a paragraph or two and then I supplement it with things I’ve made, online video clips, or other books that align to the topic.

Finally, we added the large pennant timeline banner to the top of the board, using chronological sequencing of the events.

• Valley Forge Mini Books
• The Lewis & Clark Expedition
• The Road to the White House – An Election Unit
