Teaching the American Revolution through Plays, a Timeline Game, and other Mini Units Obviously there are many different ways to teach about the American Revolution. I have used all the materials here at various times during my teaching. They have been tested on a variety of ages - in my home and in classrooms with as few as six students and as many as thirty. They have been used as quick mini lessons on the topic and as part of a longer, more in-depth study. But always, the goal has been the same, to give the students a deeper understanding of the founding of our country. I hope that you and your students enjoy the lessons as much as we have. Here you will find the following resources, all compiled in one, easy to use book: The Shot Heard Round the World Mini Unit Founding Era Plays: Just In: This Report on the American Revolution and Declaring Independence Declaration of Independence Review Game Revolutionary War Time-Line Game Illustrating History: The Road to a Revolution Important Documents Revolutionary War Quotes
