Drawing depicting the Boston Tea

Party (T)
Briefly describe how each of these artifacts could be used to introduce or teach
necessary concepts to students
1. The videos are a realistic fictional way to bring the events of history to life for the
students. This gives them a visual aide to understand concepts that may be abstract
to them since they are just reading a book or listening to the teacher lecture.
2. This is an image that can be an aide to the discussions on Paul Revere and the book
on Paul revere listed below. This again provides a visual aide to the novel. Students
can be asked to analyze and reflect on what the people in the picture felt during this
time.
3. This can be a visual aide during the class discussion of the Boston Tea Party to
discuss the effects it had on the American people during this act of rebellion.

B. List your Internet Sites/ Apps:

1. http://www.pbs.org/ktca/liberty/road_q1_2.html

answer wrong, it tells you, and then gives you a link to more information on the
topic to find the answer. This could be used to play a class game as either a preknowledge assessment or a post unit assessment. The second website also has
information on the revolutionary war and has a section on the causes of it. It the

very descriptive pictures to go along with the information. This can be used for
class shared reading during the unit. The last website is a game about the Boston
Tea Party. This can either be played as a class or the students can play them in
groups or individually on a computer or ipad, if available in the classroom. The
Revolutionary War app contains videos, photos, games, pictures, and much more on
the war. There are also presentations that can be printed out. This app can be
used as a choice assignment where the sudents have to select something from the

used for a quick assessment tool to check for understanding throughout the
lessons. The QR code reader is an interactive and fun way for students to be
engaged with the material.
