Revolutionary War people
At fifth grade STEAM, we made life sized people who played an important role in the revolution. They will be drawn on paper and mounted on cardboard, so they will actually stand like those people in their time of life! These people were displayed at the last expo and the traverwood library. If you every see them, you can expect high quality from us. With our people, we're going to make 3D artifacts to go with them. Some of the students are going above and beyond with this project and even dressing their people.
We approached the topic asa grade level in three different ways based on the point of view coming up to the war: Mr Vince's class covered the British perspective, Ms. Moore studied the colonist rebels, and Mrs. J. came at it from the voiceless - the indentured servants, slaves, women, African Americans, and Native Americans. The goal was to learn what their voice was, and what was their point of view of the Boston Massacre. Here are some of the people we studied:

John Hancock
John Hancock was a great leader in Boston. He was the richest man in his town. Hancock played a very big roll in the Boston Tea Party. Hancock owned a huge boat, and the British came and robbed it. Then Hancock and John Adams worked together to get rid of the British and their taxes. Hancock and Adams eventually got rid of the British and the British came after them so they went in hiding. All though they escaped and lived a happy life.

American Colonists
In 1607, The Virginia Company sent a group of men to settle in the New World. The settlement was called Jamestown. It was named after their king but non-singular ruler, James. One of the first dutch (Nederlanders) was called New Amsterdam. Present day New York City. Most of the colonists were from England.
The first few years in Jamestown were very hard on the new people. Many people died, but with the help of Native Americans they found new ways to keep warm and to grow food. Eventually people left Jamestown to make other colonies, and the colonies began. The reason for leaving Jamestown was commonly that people had their religious beliefs, or people just didn't like Jamestown. Every colony was special in its own way. They were split up into sections called the "New England Colonies", Middle colonies and southern colonies. Each class was given a section of the 13 colonies to learn about. The Invincibles studied the New England colonies, S'mores studied the middle colonies, and JCrew studied the southern colonies.
