"You say you want a Revolution??? Well...."

Yes kids, it's the Beatles. (Nevermind, your parents know what I'm talking about. Sigh....)

Anyway, we started a new unit this week! REVOLUTION!!! Good stuff.

The students learned about main causes, linking information from the previous unit to what is now happening in the the colonies. For the next few days, they will be working in groups to research some lesser known, but very key "players" who contributed to the revolutionary movement. The information that is discovered will then be collaboratively and creatively presented on Friday to the class in the form of a multimedia presentation of the groups' choice (most use PowerPoint.)

I hope to post the presentations here for families to access...stay tuned!
