Class Set: Chains and American Revolution Readers Collection

Help me give my students a library of resources to study the American Revolution!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cimino's classroom raised $734

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In our Humanities: History through Literature and Film elective, we aim to increase literacy skills along with a love of history by using historical fiction as a hook. This class set of Laurie Halse Anderson's "Chains" (the Seeds of America trilogy) will be a wonderful resource for our middle school readers studying the American Revolution and the lives of the enslaved. In addition to the class set, we will use various online resources (history lessons, graphic organizers, journals) along with our library of American Revolution resources to compare and contrast history and fiction and create a final culminating project.
