About this resource
This quiz covers the American Revolutionary War period, focusing specifically on the political divisions between Patriots and Loyalists in colonial America. Designed for grades 5-6, the assessment evaluates students' understanding of the ideological conflict that split colonial society during the 1760s and 1770s. Students need to grasp the fundamental disagreements about independence, taxation, representation, and loyalty to the British Crown. The quiz requires knowledge of key vocabulary terms like "tyrant," "treason," "independence," and "revolution," along with the ability to identify famous historical figures from both sides of the conflict. Students must analyze primary source quotes and statements to determine whether they represent Patriot, Loyalist, or Neutral viewpoints. The questions also test comprehension of major events like the Boston Tea Party, Boston Massacre, and French and Indian War, as well as important documents such as the Declaration of Independence. Critical thinking skills are essential as students evaluate different perspectives on British rule, colonial rights, and the consequences of potential independence. Created by Corey Wistinghausen, a History teacher in the US who teaches grades 5 and 6. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes in the elementary social studies classroom. Teachers can use individual sections as warm-up activities to activate prior knowledge about colonial perspectives, or deploy the full quiz as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding before moving to more complex Revolutionary War topics. The vocabulary questions work excellently for review sessions, helping students master essential academic language, while the perspective-based questions make ideal discussion starters for exploring how the same events appeared differently to various colonial groups. This quiz aligns with NCSS Thematic Standards, particularly Time, Continuity, and Change; Power, Authority, and Governance; and Civic Ideals and Practices. It also supports state standards addressing colonial American history, the causes of the American Revolution, and the development of American democratic principles.
