7th Grade: Mission: US

Picture
Mission: US is a series of online RPG adventures about significant periods in US history. The game puts students in the shoes of teenagers throughout history as they navigate through their complicated worlds. In Mission 1: For Crown or Colony?, students follow a boy named Nathaniel Wheeler as he becomes an apprentice in Boston just before the start of the American Revolution.

The game focuses a lot on different perception and points of view. Lessons tied to the game are focusing on context clues, determining points of view, and how one's point of view affects perception of a situation.
