Revolutionary War "For the first time in all my
years of teaching, my students actually cheered when it
was time to teach social studies. Students who normally
struggled academically flourished with this museum project. It
was a teaching and learning experience that I will never
forget!"— Lead
Teacher, Christina Garley
Maple Avenue 5th grade students in Sussex, WI, created a seven-exhibit museum
about the American Revolution organized around the following focus questions:
What set the stage for the American Revolution?
"Taxation without representation" - how did
it increase conflict?
Did all colonists have the same view of Britain’s
role?
How did the war begin?
What were the important battles of the American Revolution?
How did people's lives change after the American Revolution?
