Class
Jackie Shaw
Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(260)
Join me for this 8-week, revolutionary course as we learn all about the American Revolution with the American Girl doll, Felicity Merriman! We will read her book, discuss her time period, and engage in hands-on learning.

Class experience

US Grade 1 - 4
This is my 14th year as a secondary English teacher, and my favorite units of all are interdisciplinary ones where I can combine many of my passions into one rich learning experience! Personally, I have been an avid American Girl doll collector since I was a child, and have read through the series and have done the activities with my own six year-old. I would love to share this excitement for American Girls, reading, history, and culture with your children, too!
Homework Offered
We will be reading one Felicity book a week, and there will be a light amount of work to go along with that to reflect their comprehension (journaling, vocabulary, etc). There will also be a project to show the student's growing understanding of Felicity and her time period that will be due at the last class.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Copies of all six of Felicity's original books. Listening to audio versions of the novels is absolutely fine as well!
