Revolutionary Biographies

February 19, 2008

5th grade recently culminated their Revolutionary War studies with an in-depth study of key Virginians of the war.   Students chose an individual to research, wrote a critical analysis about how their person influenced Virginia during the time of the Revolutionary War, and finally crafted an oral presentation to teach their classmates about their historical figure.

What was the most critical contribution (act, idea, document. . . . ) that your individual made during the time of the Revolutionary War?
King George III
