Wilmington Friends 8th Graders Kick Off American Revolution Unit in Philadelphia

Bringing the American Revolution to life through experiential learning!
To launch the 8th grade American Revolution unit, Wilmington Friends middle schoolers spent the day in Philadelphia, PA.

In the morning, students toured the Museum of the American Revolution, where they explored not only key events of the Revolution, but also the critical roles that African Americans, Indigenous people, and women played in helping the colonists secure independence.

In the afternoon, advisories toured the Independence Mall area. Each student presented research they had conducted on the historical significance and architecture of famous landmarks—including Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House, and America’s first post office, established by Benjamin Franklin.
