Understandings(BIG IDEA – SO WHAT?)Students will understand that America as we know it today was formed from thecauses, events, and results of the AmericanRevolution.Additional Understandings Include: Physical and cultural features and climate affectthe development of a region. Nations build upon both conflict and compromise. For a democracy to endure, all of its citizensshould have political, social, and economic rights. Fighting a war comes at a great cost. Individuals develop and change societies.Big Idea Question:How did the American Revolution affect the trendsthat we see in America today?Essential Questions(Question must be open ended to be a true EQ) Why were New York City, Boston, andPhiladelphia geographically important during theAmerican Revolution? (SS4G1b; SS4H4a, b, c;SS4E1) How did the colonists and British use theirknowledge of the land to fight during theAmerican Revolution? (SS4G2d; SS4H4a, c) Why was the American Revolution caused by afailure to compromise (British Imperial Policy: the1765 Stamp Act, “no taxation withoutrepresentation!” Sons of Liberty, the Boston TeaParty)? (SS4H4, SS4G1b, SS4CG1a, SS4E1) Why did the American colonists and the Britishhave such different reactions to the end of theFrench and Indian War? (SS4H4; SS4CG1a; SS4E1) Why was the signing of the Declaration ofIndependence a key event of the AmericanRevolution? (SS4H4b,d; SS4G1b; SS4CG1a; SS4E1) Why are natural rights important? (SS4H4b;SS4CG1a) Why did the colonists choose to make sacrifices togain their independence? (SS4H4; SS4CG1a;SS4E1) How were the Americans able to defeat theBritish in the American Revolution? (SS4H4c,d;SS4G2d; SS4E1) How did King George III, George Washington,Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, BenedictArnold, Patrick Henry, and John Adams contributeto the establishment of the United States ofAmerica? (SS4H4d)Additional Extension Essential Questions: What made George Washington a good leader ofthe Continental army? What was the importance of the Battle ofLexington and Concord, the Battle of Saratoga,and the Battle of Yorktown? Why is the Battle of Saratoga considered the“turning point” of the American Revolution? How did the British and Continental armiesattempt to use the geographical features to theiradvantage during each battle? Was the American Revolution reallyrevolutionary? Why did so many colonists become unhappy withEngland’s control over the colonies?

The first section is the instructional teaching section. Thesecond section is the application section, where students will be participating in Project Based Learning andextending their knowledge. This unit topic is the American Revolution, in which we will be focusing on thecauses, events, and results of the American Revolution. The theme is “A Step Back In Time.” Through thistopic and theme we will be exploring the question “Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travelback in time?” We will be doing just that, as we learn how the American Revolution changed America forever.

Below is a schedule of how this unit is going to be integrated. Week one and most of week two is theinstructional planning section; the daily learning goal is listed in each box. We will start the Project BasedLearning (PBL) process on Friday of week two after an entry event, explaining the PBL in more detail. We willspend week three creating the PBL student lead projects, on paper, this is the planning process. On Friday ofweek three, we will have a “Critical Friends” Feedback Forum for students to help continue to guide eachother in their process, with teacher support. A teacher conference will also take place on that day, to ensurethat the appropriate steps have been taken, supplies are provided, and to finalize the plan. Week four will bein class construction of the PBL projects. The goal is to have all of the projects done by Friday. The beginningof week five is designed to prepare for “A Step Back In Time Presentation Day.” On Wednesday of week five,students will present their final projects to an authentic audience consisting of their parents, teachers, andpeers. This day will conclude the unit.Week 1Week 2Week 3MondayFrench and IndianWarBattle of Lexingtonand Concord, BunkerHill,Saratoga, andYorktownProject Planning Day Creating The PlanProcess- Part TwoTuesdayBritishImperialPolicyStamp ActKing GeorgeIII, GeorgeWashington,Patrick HenryWednesdayThursdayFriday“No TaxationSons ofBoston MassacrewithoutLiberty/British Boston Tea PartyRepresentation”ActsDeclaration ofIndependence,ThomasJefferson, JohnAdams,BenedictArnold, and BenFranklinLife DuringThe WarProjectPlanning Day Creating ThePlan ProcessPart ThreeProject PlanningDay - CreatingThe PlanProcess PartFourProjectPlanning Day Creating ThePlan ProcessPart FiveAmericanRevolutionWar ReviewEntry EventProject PlanningDay- Creating ThePlan Process PartOne“Critical Friends”Feedback ForumAfter Run-throughof Presentations-I like I wonder Feedback aboutemotions,content,delivery, etc.TeacherConference- Finalizeplan and supplieslistWeek 4Constructing The PlanProcess- Part OneConstructingThe PlanProcess - PartTwoConstructingThe PlanProcess - PartThreeConstructingThe PlanProcess- PartFourConstructing ThePlan Process- PartFive

Students will be allowed to conduct research outside of schooland bring in supplies. However, the concept behind this action research project is for students to workcollaboratively through PBL.In regards to the student’s “Creating The Plan Process”, students will be working with the “TalentsUnlimited Model.” This model works them through the steps one day at a time, to lead them to a successfulPBL process. They will also have a guiding packet with tasks and reflective journal, for each day to complete,to structure the creating a plan and constructing a plan process. Day one of the creating the plan process withcorrelate with the checklist associated with day one of the constructing the plan part of their guiding packetand reflective journal.Description of the Talents Unlimited nMakingTo generatemany,varied, andunusualideas orsolutionsand to adddetail to theideas toimprove ormake themmoreinteresting.To outline,weigh, makefinaljudgments,and defenda decisionon the manyalternativesto aproblem.APA Citation For Talents Unlimited o design ameans forimplementingan idea bydescribingwhat is to bedone,identifyingthe resourcesneeded,outlining asequence ofsteps to take,andpinpointingpossibleproblems inthe plan.To make avariety ofpredictionsabout thepossiblecausesand/oreffects ofvariousphenomena.To use andinterpret bothverbal andnonverbalforms ofcommunicationto expressideas, feelings,and needs toothers.To develop abase ofknowledgeand/or skillabout atopic orissuethroughacquisitionofinformationandconcepts.
