Revolutionary Era Essay Activities

Bring the American Revolution to life with interactive, auto-grading writing tasks that feel more like a game than a quiz. Students respond to an open-ended prompt, submit their work, and instantly see how they did on content, organization, mechanics, and length — all in a red, white, and blue themed interface.

Each activity:

• Guides students to write a focused short essay (about 70–140 words).
• Checks for key historical ideas and vocabulary.
• Awards extra “bonus” points for using challenge words (which are clearly shown on the results screen).
• Locks the response after grading, so the score feels final — just like a real test.

These activities are perfect for bellringers, review sessions, writing practice, or formative assessments before or after a unit test.
