How did Connecticut contribute to the American Revolution? As the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaches, this teacher workshop will provide teachers with content and tools to use their classrooms as we explore Connecticut’s role in the American Revolution. This workshop will share teaching activities that highlight Connecticut’s role as the provisions state, the experiences of Connecticut officers and regular soldiers who fought in the Continental Army, the battles against Connecticut shore towns and conflict between Connecticans who remained loyal to Britain and those seeking independence. Workshop participants will receive ‘ready-to-use’ inquiry-based teaching activities; from close reading to student research and local primary sources, on Connecticut’s role during the American Revolution. Participants will also have the opportunity to see documents and artifacts from the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History’s vast collection.
