Subject: [MOSAIC] Revolutionary War unit help request
Greetings! Anyone have info they'd be willing to share on Rev War
references/sitea/units they've done/used? I teach reading to all the 5th
graders in my building so I'm primarily looking for literacy related items
rather than social studies.
We too have been looking for Revolutionary War materials, especially those
written below a fifth grade reading level. Here is a list of books we found
at our public library with the lexile levels:
