CAUSES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Critical Thinking in U.S. History: Causes of the American Revolution. By Kevin O’Reilly. Involving students in a range of problems on specific critical thinking skills through the lens of U.S. history, the lessons in this book combine core content with valuable practice in critical thinking. In this book, you will find ten lessons each focusing on the causes of the American Revolution. There are several specific critical thinking skills that are targeted in this book: evaluating sources of information (evidence), analyzing cause-and-effect arguments, forecasting, evaluating analogies, and identifying our own biases. The lessons are meant to be supplementary to other activities on the causes of the American Revolution. Some of these lessons could take as little as 10 minutes, so they could easily be inserted into a broader lesson with a number of other activities. Grades 6–12. 8½" x 11".
