I love homeschool freebie of the day....they have great resources not only for homeschoolers but items that can supplement any child's education.
This weekend the resource is on Paul Revere's Ride (the 234th anniversary of which is this Saturday). They are offering FOUR wonderful resources all related to Revere and the history surrounding his midnight ride. Here's the complete rundown:
Listen My Children (MP3 audio) - FIRST UP up this a great half hour audio story about Revere's long life and influence, including the events of that fateful night, as originally dramatized on the radio program "Cavalcade of America", in December, 1952."
Listen My Children" Listening Guide (PDF ebooklet) -Next, you'll want to use this PDF discussion guide with background info and questions to accompany the above audio program.
Paul Revere's Ride (MP3 audio) - A SECOND classic audio for you: A wonderful dramatic performance of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's classic poem, "Paul Revere's Ride" as performed by Frederic March. If your kids have never heard it, they are missing out on one of the quintessential American poems. Give it a listen!
And FINALLY, there is a neat PDF art study lesson focusing on paintings & sculptures depicting Paul Revere (as well as the Minutemen), courtesy of Yes You Can! Publications. This is lots of fun and a great way to combine history with art appreciation & hands-on activities to boot.
Again, ALL of these resources will be featured on their site through the entire weekend.
