Objectives: The students will be able to:

1. locate many of the sites that commemorate the events of the American Revolution.

2. understand how to obtain information about those sites.

Description of lesson/activities :

1. The teacher should read to the class about places that commemorate the American Revolution from the book, Historic Places of Early America .

2. The class will brainstorm as to how to go about getting the addresses of organizations that care for the sites. This activity could be tied to a lesson on how to write a business letter. Letters could be written to the groups asking for brochures or further information about the site.

3. After the information is received, the class could work together to design a booklet that will tell about the sites. The booklet should include a map showing the location of the sites. Each write-up should tell about what part the site played in the American Revolution. These booklets could be displayed in the library.
