jen3kids Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm tutoring an 11 year old with a language processing disorder. Does anyone have any great resources for teaching/discussing the American Revolution - the resources provided by the school are dry and language intensive. Thanks, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PachiSusan Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Liberty's Kids DVD's on YouTube. They're really great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 http://americanhistory.mrdonn.org/revolution.html (links to all things revolutionary war) http://www.historyanimated.com/newhistoryanimated/ (animated battles) - Too Late To Apologize by Soomo.

Alte Veste Academy Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 If the student is crafty/hands-on, HITW Time Travelers are great. http://homeschoolinthewoods.com/HTTA/TTS/AmericanRevolution.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarenNH Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm planning to study the American Revolution with my 4th grader next year and I've been gathering a ton of web links, resources, etc. Anyone know how to pull out a list of bookmarks in Chrome to enter here?

Plink Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm planning to study the American Revolution with my 4th grader next year and I've been gathering a ton of web links, resources, etc. Anyone know how to pull out a list of bookmarks in Chrome to enter here? I don't, but I wish I did. I'd love to see what you have found. Seconding the recommendations for Liberty's Kids and Homeschool In the Woods. Both are amazing. In addition, I have a Early Modern pinterest page that may help you, Jen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarenNH Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 OK I'm an official pinterest user now! :-) Here's my American Revolution page. Check back later -- more likely to be added. http://pinterest.com/carennh/american-revolution/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarenNH Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Just added some additional links and will probably continue doing so. WOW! There's a lot out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weederberries Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 History Pockets we like these in a variety of themes. you can modify the language intensity by reading aloud, and requiring less writing, more constructing. Hands On History (I recently purchased the ebook from Teacher Express for $1) Read Draw Remember - make it read aloud, draw, remember Tunes that Teach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
