Founding Fathers | Battles of the American Revolution 

Task- The Revolution was one of the most complex time in American History. The colonists really didn't want to create a new country, they actually liked being British citizens.  They tried everything they could think of to get King George to listen to their demands, which were basically simple: to be heard and have a voice in their government.

Process- In this Webquest, we are going to learn about the important players and their role in the American Revolution.  Here are the activities that we will achieve.

Create a Timeline of the American Revolution and when important events took place.
