This resource serves as the in-class review activity over period two for the APUSH midterm summative assessment.
This is a project based learning experience in which students will learn the different viewpoints in the fight for independence by the 13 original colonies.
This collection uses primary sources to explore the events that led up to the American Revolutionary War. Digital Public Library of America Primary Source Sets are designed to help students develop their critical thinking skills and draw diverse material from libraries, archives, and museums across the United States. Each set includes an overview, ten to fifteen primary sources, links to related resources, and a teaching guide. These sets were created and reviewed by the teachers on the DPLA's Education Advisory Committee.
Students will use both primary and secondary sources (links in lesson) to research one or a group of the 13 original colonies and create a report or presentation. They will also identify the colonies on a map quiz. Being able to identify geographical locations and use map skills is always beneficial, for both school and beyond. This lesson will also provide students with the ability to compare and contrast different colonies and explain their importance to the development of a nation based on geographical connetions to industry/agriculture and their origination and it's impact on history. (For example, the colonies that began with a king's charter were more likely to have citizens who remained loyal to Britian during the War for Independence.)

U.S. History is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of most introductory courses. The text provides a balanced approach to U.S. history, considering the people, events, and ideas that have shaped the United States from both the top down (politics, economics, diplomacy) and bottom up (eyewitness accounts, lived experience). U.S. History covers key forces that form the American experience, with particular attention to issues of race, class, and gender.Senior Contributing AuthorsP.
