Revolutionary War Battle Assignment (Due on Thursday, October 4th)
You will be assigned a battle from the war. Research the battle (in book and on internet) and write a half page
summary. This summary should include an explanation of the battle’s impact and overall importance in the
Revolution. This needs to be in your own words. You may also want to print out information and bring it to class on
Thursday. You will be putting together a mini presentation and reenactment to perform in class on Friday.
