American Revolution -- PBL Unit


Image result for american revolution

How did the major battles and events of the American Revolution affect the outcome of the war?

This will be our driving question for this project.  All of your work should be based on this question.
As the culminating task of this unit, you will be creating a slideshow with your Google account.

Your slideshow should include:
  1. A cover slide that includes the driving question.
  2. Five to seven slides with information about the battle or event.
    • What happened?  Why?
    • Who won?  How?
    • How did this victory or defeat affect the outcome of the war? or How did this event affect the outcome of the war?
    • How did this battle/event change history?
    • How did the war change because of this?
  3. A bibliography slide with links to resources that you found useful.
  4. Relevant pictures and images that support your information.

Your group for this project can be found on this page.  I have assigned battles on a preliminary basis.  Your group will be able to trade with another group prior to beginning this slideshow.
