The American Revolution: Key Causes

school 5th Grade Social Studiesschedule 45 Minutesverified CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.2

1. Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
• Identify three major causes of the American Revolution (Taxation without Representation, The Boston Tea Party, The Intolerable Acts).
• Analyze primary source quotes to determine colonial sentiment towards British rule.

2. Differentiation Strategy (IEP/504)

Scaffolding for ELLs: Provide a visual timeline of events with key vocabulary translated. Use sentence stems for the primary source analysis activity.
Extension for High Achievers: Students will draft a "Letter to the King" from the perspective of a Loyalist, contrasting the patriot view.

3. Direct Instruction (10 min)

Start with a hook: "Imagine if the principal decided to take 50% of your lunch money every day to pay for a new fence, but didn't ask you if you wanted a fence. How would you feel?"

Connect this to "Taxation without Representation." Explain that the colonists were British citizens but had no say in Parliament.

4. Assessment / Exit Ticket

On a sticky note, students must write one reason why colonists were angry, using the word "Representation".
