Liberty or Death: A Revolutionary War Inquiry Unit
In this unit the students will research both sides of the Revolutionary War. They will investigate views of the Patriots and well as those of the Loyalist and other people groups in the Revolutionary War. They will have to choose a side and present an opinion project that expresses their opinion.
The student prompt will be: You work as an apprentice at a printing business in the British colony of Virginia. Your master printer is a Patriot and has asked you to help convince your fellow citizens to join the Revolution. You have only come from England a year ago and are a British citizen. You must decide which side to join.
