George Washington was chosen to lead the Continental Army due to his surveyor experience which gave him knowledge of Virginia's terrain, prior military command experience during the French and Indian War, and his leadership of the Patriot cause in Virginia. As commander, Washington faced difficulties including a lack of supplies and harsh conditions at Valley Forge, but was able to achieve a decisive victory over the British at Yorktown through combined American and French forces. After the war, Washington was unanimously elected the first President of the United States and set many precedents for the office before retiring after two terms.

Facts About Civil War
Facts about the Civil War continue to fascinate people of all ages, from kids to adults. The consequences of the Civil War can still be felt today, although it was fought 150 years ago.
The Plains Wars
The Plains Wars were a series of conflicts between Native American tribes and the United States Army from 1862 to 1890. The wars were sparked by white settlement encroaching on Native lands, breaking of treaties by the U.S. government that reduced reservation sizes, and the Army's lack of understanding of Indian perspectives. Notable conflicts included Little Crow's War in 1862, the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864 where over 160 Cheyenne were killed, and Red Cloud's War from 1866 to 1868 where Red Cloud defeated the Army and forced the closure of forts along the Bozeman Trail. Ultimately, the wars ended with Native Americans losing more of their lands and rights as the U.S. continued westward expansion.

Many colonists wanted independence from Great Britain due to taxation without representation and harsh laws imposed by the king. Important figures like Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, and Ethan Allen opposed British rule. The Sons of Liberty protested taxes like the Stamp Act and Boston Tea Party. The Boston Massacre and Battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill further angered colonists, leading the Continental Congress to declare independence on July 4, 1776.
Chapter 6.3
Washington's forces were defeated by the British at the Battle of Long Island in 1776, resulting in over 1000 patriot casualties. Washington was then forced to retreat across New York, facing a series of losses. Nathan Hale was hanged after being caught spying on the British. Washington later surprised the Hessians in Trenton and took Princeton, boosting patriot morale. The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 was a major turning point, resulting in France becoming an ally of the American patriots. The winter of 1777-1778 at Valley Forge was extremely difficult for Washington's naked and starving troops.
Chapter 5 Section 1
After the disastrous defeat at Fort Necessity, General Braddock was sent by the British to sweep the French out of the Ohio Country. However, Braddock was unprepared for French and Indian guerilla warfare tactics. In July 1755, Braddock's army of over 1,300 men was ambushed by a smaller French and Indian force. The British regulars suffered from panic and confusion, while the Virginia companies fought bravely. Over 600 British were killed or wounded, including Braddock, who died days later. Despite the defeat, Washington distinguished himself with his leadership and bravery during the battle.

The civil war
The Civil War began on April 12, 1861 and ended on May 9, 1865. It was an extremely deadly war, with approximately 625,000 soldiers losing their lives over the course of the conflict, primarily due to disease rather than battle injuries. The Union army was quite diverse, with many immigrant and African American regiments helping to contribute to the Northern victory. Key events included General Grant accepting the Confederate surrender in Vicksburg on July 4, 1863 and the assassination of President Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865.
America 1763 1787
This document provides a summary of key events in America between 1763 and 1787, from the end of the French and Indian War through the drafting of the US Constitution. It describes the growing unrest and revolutionary spirit in the colonies as the British imposed new taxes. Key figures like Samuel Adams and Thomas Paine advocated independence. The Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776 and the Revolutionary War began. Though the Continental Army struggled early on, victories at Saratoga, Cowpens, and Yorktown helped secure independence. However, the weak Articles of Confederation proved problematic, leading to the Constitutional Convention and the drafting of a new framework for national government.
The American Revolution Web
The document summarizes key events from 1774 to 1783 during the American Revolutionary War. It describes how the British took control of Boston in 1774 and the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775. It then discusses how George Washington was chosen as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and some of the early challenges they faced. Finally, it outlines the British strategy to defeat the colonies, the pivotal American victory at Saratoga in 1777 which led France to join the Americans, and concludes with the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781 after being trapped by Washington and French forces, effectively winning the war for American independence.
Battle of Yorktown
1) The Battle of Yorktown in Virginia in 1781 marked the end of the Revolutionary War.

The War of 1812 and its Affects
The War of 1812 had several long-term impacts on the relationship between the United States and Britain. While neither side lost territory in the Treaty of Ghent that ended the war, it improved relations between the two countries. The Rush–Bagot Treaty of 1817 demilitarized the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. Border adjustments were also made through the Treaty of 1818 and Webster–Ashburton Treaty of 1842. Although the original causes of the war went unaddressed, the post-war period saw reduced tensions and the establishment of a peaceful border between the U.S. and British North America.
American revoltuion presentation
John Rupert was a British soldier who fought in several key battles of the American Revolutionary War from the perspective of a Redcoat. He describes his experiences in the French and Indian War, the Boston Massacre, the Battles of Lexington and Saratoga where the British were defeated, and reflects on the Treaty of Paris that recognized American independence. Over time, he becomes disillusioned with the war as he witnesses the death and destruction it causes on both sides.
The Civil War Homefront
The Civil War had widespread impacts on civilians across both the North and South. As men left for war, women took on new roles supporting the war effort through nursing, factory work, and managing households and farms. Life on the home front was difficult, with shortages of food and supplies, risk of injury from battles, and constant fear for loved ones at war. By the end of the war, over 600,000 soldiers had died and many families were left impoverished or orphaned by the conflict. The home front experience differed depending on location but all American civilians felt the effects of the war.
Revolutionary War
The document summarizes key events leading up to and during the Revolutionary War. The Stamp Act, Quartering Act, Townshend Acts, Tea Act, and Intolerable Act led the colonies to unite in protest. The First Continental Congress met to discuss liberty. Early battles included Lexington and Concord, where the British suffered losses. The Americans were later defeated but received a boost when they won at Saratoga, prompting France to join the war as an ally. The British then focused on the South but faced guerilla resistance. Finally, the British under Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown after being surrounded by American and French forces, leading to British recognition of American independence.

Marzano’S Best Practices And Instructional Strategies
Marzano's research identifies several effective instructional strategies that can improve student learning across content areas including identifying similarities and differences, summarizing and note taking, reinforcing effort and providing recognition, and setting objectives and providing feedback. These strategies require specific implementation techniques and teacher feedback to achieve their full effect on student learning as reported in research. While cooperative learning and other strategies can be effective, students also need time for independent skill practice and not all strategies work in every situation.
Pyramid Game
The document describes an academic vocabulary pyramid game with different levels corresponding to grade levels from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. Each level includes vocabulary words or concepts associated with that grade level and the number of points earned for correctly answering questions about each one.

3) Several word problems are presented that can be solved using equations that relate the variable representing an unknown quantity like number of items or weeks to other known variables and values.
6 Steps
The document outlines a 6 step process for teaching academic vocabulary:
1) The teacher introduces the term and provides a student-friendly explanation and examples.
2) Students restate the term in their own words using their background knowledge.
3) Students represent the term visually through drawings or other graphics.
4) Students use the term in other contexts to deepen their understanding.
5) Students discuss the term with peers to add to their understanding.
6) Vocabulary games provide further exposure to reinforce the term.
To Measure Something One Must
To measure something, one must first decide what attribute will be measured, such as length, weight, or volume. Then a standard unit for that attribute must be selected, such as centimeters or grams. The object to be measured is compared to the standard unit to see how many units it takes to match the attribute. For example, to measure the volume of a bucket, one could see how many cups of water it takes to fill the bucket. Standard measuring tools can also be used to quantify attributes, but comparisons must still be made to the standard units.
Personal Mastery2
Personal Mastery is a set of practices that support people in keeping their dreams whole while also cultivating an awareness of their current reality. This creates a tension between what one has and what one wants that naturally seeks resolution, so children try to move reality closer to their dreams.
Measurement Attribute
This document defines and provides examples of common measurement attributes used in science including length, area, perimeter, volume, capacity, time, weight/mass, and angles. Examples include measuring the length of a piece of paper using different units, comparing the areas of different rectangles, determining which rectangles can be made with a given perimeter, ordering containers by volume and capacity, timing a pendulum swing, and measuring angles with a protractor. Standard units provided include inches, feet, yards, miles, centimeters, meters, kilograms, grams, seconds, minutes, hours, and degrees.
Measurement And Geometry Bav
The document lists geometry and measurement terms organized by grade level including: kindergarten terms like circle, square, triangle, length, and time; 1st grade terms like inch, foot, hour, and temperature; 2nd grade terms like fractions, gallons, pounds, and symmetry; 3rd grade terms like area, perimeter, faces, and metric units; 4th grade terms like angles, parallel, perpendicular, and rotation; and 5th grade terms like metric prefixes, plane, and straight angle.
Developing Measurement Concepts
Measurement involves comparing an attribute of an item to a standard unit with the same attribute, such as comparing lengths to units of length. To measure meaningfully, one must understand the attribute being measured and be familiar with the unit of measure used. Estimating measurements and benchmarks for common units helps increase familiarity and prevent errors, aiding meaningful use of measurement. Measurement instruments replace direct use of units, so it is important to understand how they work for correct, meaningful use. Area and volume formulas allow measuring using only length measures. Area, perimeter, and volume are related though not precisely, as shapes change but maintain the same area or volume.
Assessments
Progress monitoring involves regularly testing critical reading skills to determine if a student is making adequate progress and whether instruction needs modification to accelerate reading achievement. Diagnostic tests measure a variety of skills and are given if extra help is not resulting in adequate progress to precisely plan instruction. Screening tests provide an initial assessment of a student's preparation to identify those who may need extra help to make sufficient progress in reading.
Character First
The document provides definitions, I will statements, quotes, synonyms, and antonyms for 12 character traits - one for each month of the year. The traits are faith, responsibility, patience, initiative, self-control, punctuality, resourcefulness, tolerance, creativity, discretion. For each trait there is a definition, examples of how to demonstrate that trait through "I will" statements, an antonym and synonym, and supporting quotes about the importance of that trait.
Personal Mastery 4
Children and adults alike are motivated to learn new skills that will help them achieve purposes and visions they have, such as playing with friends, gaining independence, or communicating with family. Lifelong learning allows people to actively engage with life and work toward creating their desired futures.
Personal Master 3
Learning is most effective when sparked by the learner's own interest and curiosity, as this allows learners to see where they want to go and assess where they currently are. For learning to be enduring, it requires the learner's ardent interest and assessment of their own progress. Effective learning happens when driven by the learner's own motivation to understand.
Personal Master 1
Teachers act as coaches to help students achieve personal mastery. This coaching begins with how teachers view their students - with an open mind to each child's potential and a belief that they can achieve their dreams and aspirations regardless of any limits, background, or obstacles they face.
