Revolutionary War Webquest
"Congratulations! You and a partner have been hired as researchers for the Birchwood History Channel. Your job will be to find specific information on the events during the Revolutionary War that lead to our country’s’ freedom. This information needs to be written so that kids your age can understand what happened. The directors want this information in the form of a road map, instead of a timeline. They also want colorful pictures to attract the student’s attention. Let’s get moving-the open road is waiting!"
The Task – What Am I Supposed to Do?
Over the next 5 days you and your partner will be researching some of the important events leading up to the beginning, during, and end of the Revolutionary War. You will also be studying about some of the important figures of this time period. You and your partner will be taking notes, and clearly summarizing each event in two sentences, and on the last day putting your final research into an illustrated road map. Please read the entire set of directions before you begin.
RESEARCH: With a partner, research the events on the Internet. Make sure to note what websites you used.
SUMMARIZE: Rewrite the information you find in two complete sentences.
