Get ready to travel back in time to the early days of America and discover the thrilling events that led to the American Revolution! In this elementary lesson, we explore the key moments that paved the road to independence—from the end of the French and Indian War to the fiery debates over "taxation without representation."

Our elementary lessons are primary source-based that focus on content-area literacy instruction and performance-based assessments. Designed for grades 3-5, these lessons use a modular approach for all learners and are ideal for helping elementary students explore American history and citizenship.
