1. Flags of the American Revolution
Research and make a replica of any American Revolution flag. It may be any of the following types
of flags: Regimental, Artillery, Cavalry, Infantry, Company, Militia, or Battle. The flag can be
either American/Patriot or British/Loyalists. You will then write a 1 page paper on the history and
details of your flag. Your research should include what group the flag belonged to, the reason
behind the design of the flag, and battles in which it was flown. You may include any other
interesting facts or details relating to your flag or its represented group.
40% of grade on the written research paper (must be typed, singled spaced, Times New Roman)
60% of grade on the flag (accuracy of design, color, historically accurate)
2. American Revolution Battle Chart and Map
Create a battle chart and map, which is accurate and gives full descriptions and locations of
battles which occurred during the American Revolution. Must include information on the selected
battles; therefore, you must do research. It should be neat, colorful and include appropriate
drawings, pictures and maps to demonstrate battles in an interesting and educational manner.
Your chart and map should correspond. Your chart must include the following information: name
of battle, date, location, casualties, leaders, and outcome.
40% of grade on the map
60% of grade on chart
3. Media Presentation
Create a media presentation using Powerpoint (or a similar program). Your presentation will
include various aspects of the American Revolution. You will have a total of 12 slides with an
original script for each slide. The following categories should be included: 3 Important People (1
British/Loyalist, 1 Patriot/American, 1 female), 3 Battles, 3 Events Leading to the Revolution, and
3 Interesting/Unusual/Fun Facts. The slides and script must be organized in chronological order
or by topic.
4. American Revolution Trading Cards
Many people collect and trade baseball, football, and other sports cards. You will create a
collection of revolutionary era trading cards. You should have a total of 5 cards- 2 British/Loyalist,
2 American/Patriot, 1 Woman. You will fill out a brief biographical information sheet as you
research each person. Then you will incorporate important facts from the information sheet to
create the back of your trading card. You will make your trading cards in “baseball card” style
with a picture on the front and the written info on the back.
5. American Revolution Board Game
You will design a kid friendly, colorful, and interactive board game based on events leading up to
the American Revolution or on the battles of the Revolution. You have creative freedom in
creating the type of game as well as the name of it, the game pieces, and how it is played. You will
need to have a game board, game pieces, questions and answers, and rules. People must be able to
play this game without you having to explain it in great detail. (examples- Candyland, Monopoly,
Clue, Trivial Pursuit) The questions you use in your game should be upper level questions related
to the Revolutionary Era.
6. 3-D Model
Your will create a 3-D model. You will need to select an important event or battle which occurred
just before or during the American Revolution. After you choose the event, you will need to create
a model of what happened, and you will also need to have a one page written or typed summary of
the event. Some of your choices could include, but are not limited to: Boston Massacre, Boston Tea
Party, Battle of Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, and Yorktown.
