Traveling the Revolutionary Battlefields Student Activity Have you ever thought about visiting any of the famous sites of the Revolutionary War? Imagine that a friend or family member has offered to take you on such a trip-if you agree to create the itinerary. The only catch is that there will be limited time for the trip, and your friend or relative is only interested in seeing the places where the four most important events of the war occurred. You will need to learn about some of the famous battles and events of the war, decide which four you think were the most important, and create an itinerary that explains why you have chosen these four places. 1. Here is a list of just a few of the places associated with the American Revolution. Lexington Fort Ticonderoga Concord Saratoga Boston’s Customs House Valley Forge Other locations in Groton/New London Boston Charleston Philadelphia Cowpens Trenton/Princeton Savannah Bunker Hill Yorktown 2. Read about some: Use any books in the room, or the following websites to find out more about these and other famous battles and events: http://mrnussbaum.com/american-revolution/ http://www.kidinfo.com/american_history/american_revolution.html http://revolution.mrdonn.org/ https://www.nps.gov/revwar/revolutionary_parks/tour_the_revolution.html http://www.pbs.org/ktca/liberty/chronicle.html http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/index.html 3. Chose the four places where you think the most important battles or events of the war were located. An “important event” in this case means an event that helped to get the war started or that had a big impact on what happened next in the war. 4. Then write that place and an explanation of why you’ve chose that place in the table.
