This review is from: The American Revolution (History Comes Alive Teaching Unit, Grades 4-8) (Paperback)
This book is pretty good for additional activities to do with your students when studying the American Revolution. What I like about this book- better than the Hands on Activities book that I also have, is that this book has activities that get the kids up and moving instead of just coloring and cutting pictures out.
