Benchmarks include: SS.5.A.5.4- Examine and explain the changing roles and impact of the significant women during the American Revolution. SS.5.A.5.1- Identify and explain significant events leading up to the American Revolution.

I used Bloom's Taxonomy to develop a higher learning level for the students by changing their thinking to analyzing.
 * State Objectives: **
 * Students will describe and analyze what the American Revolutionary war was, who was involved, what events took place, and what was the outcome with 90% accuracy.
 * Using Microsoft Word, the students will write a paragraph after discovering important dates that were involved with the war with 100% accuracy.
 * Completing a KWL Chart will enable the students to visualize what they know, want to know, and what they have learned with 95% accuracy.
 * Using Power point will publish the issues involved with the American Revolutionary War with 85% accuracy.
 * Students will fill out and complete a Venn Diagram to capture their thoughts and distinguish the differences between the two first ladies with 95% accuracy.
 * Using Kidspiration, the students will synthesize the events leading up to the American Revolution with 90% accuracy.


 * Select methods, media, and materials: **
 * Microsoft word
 * power point

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Utilize methods, media, and materials: **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Microsoft word will be used to write a paragraph about what the students know and have learned about the American Revolutionary War.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Power point will be used to finalize a project of important dates, events, and people using images and words.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Kidspiration will be used to create a flowchart for listing events in chronological order.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">KWL Chart will distinguish what the students know, want to know, and have learned about the war.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">A Venn Diagram is used to identify differences between to objects or people.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Students will be learning and acquiring knowledge to understand what the American Revolutionary War was. Also developing skills to identify and realize what were some major issues developing around the same time. By using the internet and reading articles on the war, students can visualize the events. Students will write what they have learned in Microsoft word, also they will create a project on the American Revolution using power point. Kidspiration is a great tool that the students will use to create a flowchart.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Students seemed to really enjoy the lesson on the American Revolution. I believe giving them more freedom and letting them create documents on the computer was a great experience for them. After grading their presentations on power point, I will evaluate them by the grade they recieved. I believe everyone did a great job with a accuracy of 95%.
