Rationale

I chose the Women of the American Revolution as my topic for two reasons:

1. It is an interesting topic that should be explored more.
2. It fits the 5th grade Learning Target of History/Culture-Standard 5:.3: Identify the roles women and African-Americans played during the Revolution.

The women were chosen to represent a variety of roles played, from well-known to lesser-known.  The images and media were chosen to provide a variety of interesting and engaging ways in which to share this information.

This blog would be used as an extension or a reinforcement activity for a unit on the American Revolution.
