This educational program, called Cries of Freedom, uses readers’ theaters, activities, and a full menu of assessment tools to introduce the people, principles, and documents that have created the first free society in modern times. It is literally a six-act play that your students will love because it personalizes the Founding Fathers in a way that students have never experienced.
Here is what one 5th grade teacher said about Cries of Freedom:
“Cries of Freedom is great because it personalizes the founding of America in a way students easily relate to. It makes students feel like American history is real and relevant.” T. Crandall -- Orem, Utah
This same teacher was amazed at how much the students loved the curriculum. He said:
“The passion of the experience nearly bowls the students over, and the rhythm and regularity of the readers’ theaters and assessment tools give the students something to look forward to day after day. If you want to jazz-up your social studies [history] classes, then I recommend Cries of Freedom to everyone!” T. Crandall -- Orem, Utah
Not only is Cries of Freedom a fascinating way to present early American history, it also promotes great language arts training because the students are reading and dramatizing all of the historical events. The safe environment of our readers’ theaters gives your students the self-confidence to stand in front of the class and vocalize their love of America!
