A Note About A Few Of The Many Different Assignments Included: There are three writing assignments in this unit, each with the purpose of informing, persuading, or expressing personal opinions. The detailed writing assignment sheets guide students through the assignments. The first assignment is writing to inform: students will draw from the information gained in their research on the Revolutionary War to write an informative composition on some aspect of the era. The second assignment gives students the opportunity to express their personal ideas: students will write a narrative account of a journey they have taken or a visit to a relative's house. The third assignment is to give students a chance to persuade: students will pretend to be Tim Meeker trying to convince his brother Sam to come home once he has satisfied his enlistment. There is an optional class project (The Redding Repository) through which students will have the opportunity to contribute to the compilation of a class newspaper. Uses: These materials are geared for whole class use but are very easily adaped for independent study work, lit circles or book groups, home school use, or tutoring. If you have never taught this book before, this manual will give you a great foundation of materials on a variety of levels.
