Summary

Students learn about Falmouth’s involvement in the Revolutionary War by reading historical fiction and factual accounts.

Coordinate the researching and the reading aloud of The Patriot Lad as you wish.  You may want to have students research first so that you can refer to the time line as you read aloud The Patriot Lad.  Or the read aloud can occur over the same time period as the research.
