Season of Independence Teacher Resources

Each Unit is supported by one of the Big Ideas essays, as well as by the Season of Independence Glossary. Primary Source activities are woven throughout Units 1-8. Activities are geared towards students at the middle school level, but are written to support teacher flexibility in increasing or decreasing the challenge as appropriate for your students.
