Archiving
Early America
Excellent source of historical materials
from eighteen century America which includes original newspapers,
maps, and writings of the time.
Battle
Map
This site is
fun because it is not so much reading. There is a map of the
United States. You can click on the cities on the map. You
will then go to pages that show the Revolutionary War battles in
that city, with more maps for each one. It has great pictures
that you can also use if you are doing a report on a battle.

The American Revolution
This
companion to the 6 hour PBS production of the same name offers a wealth of
materials you can use in your classroom. The Chronicle reports conditions
at various points in the war, Perspectives offers a look at daily life
both in America and around the world at the time, and the Road to
Revolution game challenges students with an interactive quiz, QuickTime
video and audio clips and choices to be made as they make their way
through a simulation of the war. Great for students from upper elementary
through high school.
Loyalty
or Liberty?
This is a
simulation. You are a slave in Virginia in the years before
the Revolution. Your master is a Loyalist, but Patriots will
pay you for secret information you gather as you do errands around
town. When the game is over, you have to decide which side you
will take in the Revolution - Loyalist or Patriot. Be sure you
understand the directions before you start - they may seem a little
complicated at first.
