My Take
My fourth graders just love it when they are given the time to explore this interesting FREE web site. They enjoy the visuals and the interactive features offered in this US history game. They learn about Patriots and Loyalists through the eyes of a character from the time period.
How I Use It
I use this web site to extend learning about the American Revolution. Students need some background information about the topic to fully benefit from this interactive experience.
