We will continue to watch April Morning today. Those of you reading historical fiction novels about the American Revolution should be thinking about the connections between the stories and the events and laws we studied last week as causes of the Revolution.
I wonder..., based on what you have learned, and the great examples of stories you have read and are currently watching, could you write a historical fiction story about the American Revolution? Would your main character be a boy or a girl? A Patriot, or a Loyalist? It has been estimated that only 1/3 of the colonists believed they should declare independence at the time the Declaration of Independence was written. Talk about conflict!
If you are sick at home today, you will miss the battle of Lexington. You will not need to make time outside of class to watch today's part of the film. However, you should watch the film below. It is a PBS series called "Liberty's Kids!". It is in a cartoon format and fun to watch.
