In part one of this video, Sarah and James travel to Boston to deliver a message to Patriot leader Dr. Joseph Warren and end up riding with famous messengers so they can write about it in the paper. Ben Franklin gives a "newscast" on things that are ...happening in 1775. Some of the key words discussed are mechanics, Patriots, Dr. Joseph Warren, Boston Harbor, and treason. This is a wonderful resource for a unit/lesson on the American Revolution and would be appropriate for elementary and middle school students. It certainly helps to build background knowledge on clothing, symbols, traditions, clothing, etc. for colonial times (9:52)

This is a student made video about different aspects of Colonial America. It is set to the song "Sweet Home Alabama" and covers the dislike of King George III, taxation without representation, the Stamp Act, the Boston Tea Party, the start of the Re...volutionary War, the Boston Massacre, and the Shot Heard Around the World. While none of these topics are covered in detail, the video would be great to show as an introduction or perhaps an example for your own classroom projects. (5:06)
