Students spent the entire class working on writing and illustrating their American Revolution Children's Book Project. 
 
Students spent the entire class working on writing and illustrating their American Revolution Children's Book Project.  An American Revolution Timeline was made available to assure that students had all of the items in the right order.
 
Today was the last day we will spend working on the American Revolution Children's Book Project.  Students worked to turn in all of their illustrations and complete their story scripts. 
 
Today in class we held a mock Constitutional Convention.  As students performed their lines, they answered questions about what happened at the meeting on a sheet called The Founding Fathers.  This took the entire class period.
