  1. Significant Figures of The Revolutionary War Si Unit Portfolio Presentation By: Amber Magee

  2. Unit Summary • Students will read biographies on George Washington, Betsy Ross, and Paul Revere and learn about their contributions to The Revolutionary War. Students will work in small groups when completing the assignment. After collaborating in small groups, students will address ways in which these significant figures contributed influenced our world today and later share it with an audience.

  3. Curriculum - Framing Questions • Essential Question: • What is the Revolutionary War? • Who fought in the Revolutionary War? • Unit Questions: • What significant figures contributed to the Revolutionary War? • Content Questions: • Who was George Washington? • How did George Washington contribute to The Revolutionary War? • What was Betsy Ross’s contribution to The United States during the Revolutionary War? • Paul Revere is known for what historical event?

  4. Identification of People & Contributions • This project will help my students develop 21st century skills by: • Exploring different texts regarding significant figures during the Revolutionary War and create conclusions to answer the Unit Questions • Collaborating with peers and teachers • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding in a presentation once the lesson is complete

  5. Gauging Student Needs Assessment • Purpose of the Assessment • To gather information and assess students prior knowledge about The Revolutionary War. • What I want to learn from my students? • I want to find out what they already know about the Unit Questions and what they know about The Revolutionary War. • How I have tried to promote higher-order thinking? • I question students to identify how certain contributions have affected our world today. • How the assessment information helps me and my students plan for upcoming activities in the unit? • If students do not understand how specific contributions/events have impacted our world today I can provide additional instruction clarifying misconceptions. If students have different levels of understanding about the importance of contributions, I can give additional instructional activities such as articles and books. We will revisit this assessment throughout the unit for students to add their knowledge.

  6. My Goals for the Course • Discover ways to engage my students in the lesson and find ways to get my students more interested in learning history • Show how technology can be incorporated in instruction • Demonstrate different kinds of technology that can be applied to myself and my students • Share ideas and collaborate with other teachers

  7. Goals for My Students • Learn fundamental historical events and how these events have impacted our world today • Learn how to become more independent by completing tasks on their own

  8. Request for Feedback • Find additional assessment methods assessing whether or not students understand the lesson
