Introduction for Teachers Designed by Patricia Altenburger and Jennifer Kalletta (patricia.altenburger@fcps.edu and jennifer.kalletta@fcps.edu). Last updated January 20, 2006 . This lesson was developed as part of An Adventure of the American Mind Northern Virginia Partnership (AAMNVA), a federally funded professional development program to assist educators in using Library of Congress primary resources to support student learning. “Give me Liberty of Give me Tea: A Prelude to the American Revolution” could serve as an introduction to the American Revolutionary War. In the LibraryQuest, the students explore the reasons why colonists rebelled against England by analyzing primary sources from the late 1770’s. These sources include the text of the Stamp Act, political cartoons, and Patrick Henry’s speech. Finally, the students synthesize their understanding by assuming a loyalist or patriot stance and then creating a persuasive product to promote their position.
