This resource includes both the 13 Colonies and American Revolution Vocabulary. Slides.

Students work with assigned vocabulary words for units on the 13 Colonies and the American Revolution by creating images, sentences, etc. for their word.

This assignment promotes active reading and critical thinking while reading My Brother Sam is Dead or any novel. The students are always creative with their hashtag summaries, and they are able to practice using the "Notice and Note" fiction signposts as they read.

I love holding Fishbowl type discussions in my classroom because they truly promote student centered learning. This graphic organizer contains discussion questions for Chapters 1-6 in My Brother Sam is Dead in one column and then space for students to use to write down their responses. They must use text evidence from the novel when preparing their responses. I usually have the students use their graphic organizers during the discussions, but have them prepare their responses independently at home or sometimes with a partner in class.
