Challenge Revolution
We finished Chapter 8, which was based on the events leading up to the Revolutionary War. Now that PSSAs are completed, we are diving right into our Challenge Revolution, which is based on the events of the actual Revolutionary War discussed in Chapter 9.
The Challenge Revolution
During the Challenge Revolution, the students will be participating in a competition of sorts with a small group of students. They will be completing various individual and team activities that demonstrate their understanding of the Revolutionary War, as well as their creativity and ability to work together. Details for this have been given to the student. I have also attached the calendar of expectations and packet that explains each step of the Challenge Revolution to my website here: Challenge Revolution Packet and Calendar. The homework is also posted to this link. The students will work diligently during class and out of class to complete the activities and assignments. The Challenge Revolution will last until then 1st of June.
