American Revolution Unit

We are currently working on the American Revolution unit (Chapter 6 in the American Journey textbook) and students are currently 2 weeks into a 3 week project. They are self-directed their learning through a series of activites, some choosen by me and others of their own creation and choice. Their project allows them to look at the facts of the colonists journey towards independence, while doing further exploration of the aspects that most interest them. They can then show their creativity and individual strengths by completing assignments that review the material but are determined by each student. The project will be due on Friday 3/13, at which time the students will be assessed on the unit to insure their understanding. The test for Harvard and Morehouse will be on Thursday 3/12 and Columbia and Vassar will take the test on Friday 3/13. Class time is being dedicated to their work so I can assist them, but they should be working on some of the tasks at home. This is their only homework at this time, but it is ongoing. Please let me know of any questions. I look forward to being able to display and show off some excellent examples of student learning.
