Felicity An American Girl Adventure Video Guide
This is a video guide to accompany the movie "Felicity An American Girl Adventure". I show this movie towards the beginning of the American Revolution Unit. It is probably my students favorite movie all year.
Fun Fact: The girl who plays young Felicity is now superstar Shailene Woodley from the Divergent Series and Fault in Our Stars. That makes it a little bit more interesting to the students as well since most are familiar with her as an actress. You could even make that a bonus question.
