The Mapping of US History: American Revolution
|
First, decide if you are going to use this map to pre-teach or review the American Revolution. You could even add to it a little at time. The instructional video is all together. Don't forget to use proper questioning techniques and formatively assess as you go. If you'd like help making a Nearpod like we had for the French & Indian War, please contact your technology facilitator. This map also includes individuals like Bernardo de Gálvez and John Paul Jones. Students will also map the land gained as a result of the Treaty of Paris.

*Keep in mind, this is before the Battle of Saratoga, the turning point of the war. This early victory planted a seed in the British that they may not be able to win the war. It also helped convince the French to help out and side with the Americans.
