Today, in class, we watched the Disney movie Johnny Tremain. It is a perfect movie to bring what we are learning about in Social Studies to life for the students. The “Road to the Revolution” can be a very difficult thing for children to truly understand and relate to. The movie begins after the Intolerable Acts…which is what we learned about earlier this week. It continues all the way to the beginning of the American Revolution at Lexington and Concord.
Be sure to ask your child about what they saw. We will be talking in great detail about the movie as we continue our journey down the “Road to the Revolution”.
