I know that I haven’t posted in a while. I took a little time off for vacation and then life got crazy. Anyway, I came across a few memes today on Facebook that would be GREAT to use in class when you are discussing the American Revolution.
The one at the top is funny and most teenagers (and people in general, I think) would relate to this. I know it’s not historically accurate…but it’s still funny.
I LOVE this one also, because it shows history from a completely different perspective. It’s good to stretch students’ minds and demonstrate how different a historical event can seem depending on which side is telling the story. It would be a great discussion starter or a prompt for a freewrite on historical perspective.

Also, don’t forget about my Declaration of Independence Fun Facts Quiz that addresses some myths surrounding the Declaration of Independence.
I’ve also got a podcast episode about teaching the causes of the American Revolution.
Happy Independence Day! In honor of today, I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes about independence:
“Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it.” – John Adams
God Bless America!!!
