Perspectives on the American Revolution: Building Background Knowledge
ELA Grade 4 Curriculum Map
Description
In this unit, students will explore colonial perspectives on the Revolutionary War. Students will read and analyze short informational texts and primary source documents to build background knowledge about the American Revolution and the reasons colonists became either Patriots who fought for independence, or Loyalists who fought to remain a part of Great Britain. In the beginning of the unit, students read about the events leading up to and concluding the American Revolution and create a timeline to build background knowledge on the topic. Then, they move on to read various texts to determine reasons why American colonist chose to be Patriots or Loyalists.Downloads
