This is a great resource to introduce some first-time visitors to the Homeschool Freebie Of The Day site.
They are excited because they ended up with FOUR wonderful resources
all related to Paul Revere and the history surrounding his midnight ride.
Here's the complete rundown:
- Listen My Children (MP3 audio) - 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 booklet) - This is a wonderful PDF discussion guide with background information and questions to accompany the above audio program.
- Paul Revere's Ride (MP3 audio) - 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.
- Art Study Lesson - 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.
ALL of these resources will be featured on our site today (Friday) and through the entire weekend.
