Boston Tea Party to the
American Revolution

J-600M


     

This Jackdaw is the appropriate reading level for upper elementary, middle school and high school students reading below grade level. It contains the same, ready-to-use, hands-on historical documents as the original, upper-level Jackdaw; most of the documents are actual-size replicas. The fully reproducible Broadsheets provide historical background for understanding the documents.

The hands-on history in this Jackdaw takes your students from the Boston Tea Party to Bunker Hill and the struggle to field and fund our army. Hands-on documents include a handbill persuading British soldiers to desert, a 1783 issue of the South Carolina Gazette, and early American “home-made” money. Historian: David Johnson, adapted by Muriel L. Dubois & Diane Mayr. The contents of this Jackdaw feature:
