Description
✮✮✮ Combine fun with inquiry, investigation, and critical thinking ✮✮✮
This unit is all laid out and ready for you to implement in your classroom!
The first part of this Unit has students study the causes and effects of the French and Indian War. The first part of this unit provides an introduction to point of view for students. Students review three voices from the past discussing their claim to land in the Ohio River valley and then discuss who had the most justified claim through their exit tickets. On the second day, students interact with a primary and secondary source analysis stations activity discussing the impact of the war. This section also includes a review sheet and two different versions of a critical thinking assessment!
For the second part of this Unit, students investigate the events leading to the Revolutionary War and discuss who should be blamed for the outbreak of the Revolutionary War - the colonists or the British - through an essay. The students will investigate many forms of colonial protest including the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. This inquiry combines hands-on interactive investigations with critical thinking and assessment. My students love this unit!
What teachers are saying about this resource:
"My students loved this unit! The lessons were engaging and really helped my kids engage with history at a deeper level. I loved hearing them make judgments, defend their opinions, and react to issues of propaganda bias and reliability. Very relevant in the current political climate! This was also my first time using Mission: US with a class, and the kids loved it. I am so very pleased with this unit." - Kelly T.
"This is an extremely thorough bundle of resources for teaching about the American Revolution! I used it in a 100% virtual setting, and I definitely got my money's worth.
