Introduction:

The integrated videoconference lessons and programs are the first in a series of resources that are examining the context and importance of the American Revolution events in New York.  Eventually, the work here will be linked to lessons focusing on events and people who were connected to the Battles at Saratoga and at Fort Ticonderoga. 

The lessons here include one that explores the people who lived and worked in New York City during the Revolutionary Time, and one that introduces how historians approach material culture interpretation. 

The resources are designed for use in middle school (sixth grade) classes.
