This WebQuest follows the Michigan Standards for Fifth Grade Social Studies on the American Revolution.

Introduction
The United States National Archives needs your help! The National Archives have lost the records on the American Revolution and they need your expertise as a Historian to record them again! You and your fellow historians need to work together to piece together the importance of the American Revolution! You will work in groups of five, each of you will chose between the following roles: American Historian, British Historian, Battle Historian, Roles Historian, and After the War Historian. You need to piece together the advantages/disadvantages of the American and British sides; the significance of the different Battles; the roles that Women, African Americans, Native Americans and the French had in helping with the war effort, and also what happened with the conclusion of the war. You will then need to bring all of your information and create a presentation, which you will present to The National Archives (your fellow classmates).
