Unit 4 American Revolution class novel- I read My Brother Sam is Dead by Collier Brothers and journaled.

American Revolution Timeline- I usually do this at the beginning of the unit. They work with a partner, use 2 pieces of construction paper, and make a horizontal timeline. It helps to sequence the events.

Revolutionary War Scavenger Hunt

Longterm Project- American Revolution Alphabet Book Students create an ABC book throughout the unit. As they learn about the events (from the timeline) they record them in the alphabet book. Next to the letter, they must write the event (ex. Boston Tea Party under B), then write a complete sentence pertaining to the event, and include an illustration.

I use 4- 8.5 X 11 inch construction paper, fold them in 1/2 to make a book, punch two holes in the folded end to create a binding. For the binding, I attached a rubberband through the holes and then connected it to an 8.5 inch stick (about the size of a pencil). Two alphabet letters fit on each page.

Unit 5

How a Bill Becomes a Law Flow Chart- I've used this as a visual with a simulation. Students vote on a bill that they'd like to become a law. We divide the class into sections. We have a President, a senate committee, a senate, a house committee, and the house. Then we walk the bill through the steps. It also incorporates math.

__How a Bill becomes a Law Board Game__- they can always create their own as well.
