The slave goes on errands and learns different secrets. This site includes music, pop up windows which define vocabulary, pictures, it’s really awesome! It is connected to the Colonial Williamsburg site. They have several “electronic field trips” schools can purchase, but this one is free.

The site features students’ writing and artwork related to the Revolutionary War. The site is easy to understand and includes a student made time line, interactive cause/effect chart, Match the Country game and Complaints Against George III which would be helpful as assessment tools or for student practice. This site was actually created by an LD classroom. The site is easy to understand, and includes the main ideas, events and people from the Revolutionary War.

Some of the things I found especially interesting were midi files I can download with folk music from the time period, virtual tours of Betsy Ross’ house, actual spy letters, and an activity where kids write their own “spy letters” with invisible ink, a colonial stamp art project and lesson plans for the Revolution.
