Much of our critical content relates to the Revolutionary War. Included is a listing of only these topics in our curriculum to help guide our lesson planning. There is also a collection of possible lessons that relate to these topics based upon trade books and website resources from the Library of Congress and the National Archives. This collection is not so much a unit as it is a menu of lessons and resources to add to your own ideas as you plan the most effective way to address this curriculum with your classroom of learners.
