Revolutionary War Unit

During our time in learning about the Revolutionary War we supplemented our learning with lots of hands-on stuff, a lapbook, some great books, and many videos we watched on Youtube or got from Netflix.

Printables:

• Ben Franklin Lapbook I found on homeschoolshare.com
• Revolutionary War Lapbook- (I created to go along with the books we used.  The clipart that I used in to make this lapbook where from http://etc.usf.edu/clipart )
• Patriots and Loyalist lapbook part  (This goes with the Revolutionary War lapbook I made.  But I couldn't put it into one file.)
• Spies Notebook pages that I made.  (Like the Revolutionary War Lapbook I got the clipart from http://etc.usf.edu/clipart) 
• Revolutionary War paper dolls

Movies we watched:

Learning About Our Inner Patriot (Learning about the Revolutionary War)

It was a long few weeks, but we finally finished the part of our American History trek that took us through the American Revolution.  Dare-Devil boy had a great time learning all about Ben Franklin, George Washington and the other heroes of the Revolution.  


During that time we got to eat some colonial food, set up some battles and making a lapbook that i created.

Here he is explaining how the battle was fought.

I think it was his favorite part of the lessons.
