American Revolution Hands-On Activities for Middle School

If you're not adding hands-on activities into your middle school history lesson plans, you need to start. One of my favorites is Art In History and their projects are perfect for homeschoolers. They offer quality, all-in-one kits, so kids can study history through the process of recreating a historical artifact. My tween created this Colonial teapot when she studied the American Revolution. Which will you choose? #americanhistory #tweens #teens #homeschoolhistory #middleschool #educationpossible

This Unique American Revolution Artifact Project Combines Art and History

I am a huge advocate of getting out of the textbook when teaching United States history in middle school. That means using tools like videos for teaching. If your middle schooler is studying early American History, add some of these videos to your teen's lesson plans. They will help bring history to life because history is fun! We love the first one. Which one will you watch first? #USHistory #earlyamericanhistory #homeschoolhistory #historyisfun #tweens #teens #middleschool #educationpossible

Using Early American History Videos in Your Homeschool

Is your middle schooler studying about Colonial America? This unit study is exactly what your older student needs to use along side your early American history curriculum. Make your lessons interactive with a wide variety of activities like notebooking, a craft, a period recipe, and more. Plus, helpful resources to aid your teen's research into the 13 Colonies. We love the individual colony pages! #colonialhistory #USHistory #unitstudy #middleschool #tweens #teens #educationpossible
