The Making of America 10-12 Year olds
The Making of America (11:00am-11:50am)
Step into the dramatic and inspiring story of how the United States came to be. The Making of America explores the critical events, courageous people, and powerful ideas that shaped the nation's birth. From the forests of New France and the sparks of the French & Indian War to the fiery call for independence and the final victory in the Revolutionary War, students will uncover the struggles, debates, and dreams that forged a new country.
Each lesson brings history to life through engaging stories, discussions, and hands-on projects. Students will meet young George Washington, ride alongside Paul Revere, explore the minds behind the Declaration of Independence, and witness the resilience of unsung heroes like Deborah Sampson and James Armistead Lafayette.
By the end of the course, students will not only understand the events that led to America's founding, but also reflect on the principles of liberty, sacrifice, and democratic government that continue to shape our nation today.
