This website talks about what they did.

I think that the good thing about this website is that other people can post some stuff, but on the other hand the bad thing about this website is that it talks about what kind of clothes they wore in the 18th centery. I'd say that it's in between it's not cool 'but it's not bad ether. It doesn't have any features. Member of History Channel.com
I give it a (B)

I think this website is neat, it gives a timeline, lists of people associated with the Revolution, and there is even a matching game to play. A few links and many books to read are also listed. Since it was made by a kids, it's pictures aren't the best but they should get an A for effort at least
Mrs. Huber's class owns/made this website.
Overall I would grade it as an A.

I think this is a great site because it has lessons, so it's not all games, but it does have some activities.
What I thinks bad about it: The weird techno version of Yanky Doodle Dandy.
It's not a bad site..It reminds me of something you would make.
MCE owns the site. I don't know...
I'd give it a "B"-because I want to.

It gave lots of info. about the revolution and I think that is very good. But it would be nice if they had games that you could play to make it more enjoyable.

East Aurora, New York is were it is created but there is no artists.
I give it a b

I think this site is good because it has stuff about the people the battles. but it also could be bad because it has message boards.

I think that this is a good websit because it is ful of information. It gives many facts and also has links to other information.

I dont like it beause the font is to small for my likings. I also think it could use more pictures.

If I had to give this websit a grade i would give it a B.

a pretty nice looking site, I think the best part is how it looks. There is an email address that you can mail questions to, which I think is pretty cool. I haven't emailed any questions yet (you can't email at school) so I don't know how much this/these dude(s) know(s).

Some of the other features: Photos, Events, Links, and Magazine.

I think this site is good because it gives a lot of good information about the American Revolution. It shows many good charts about the different battles and gives information about the people of the American Revolution. I think they could have made it more exciting. They have good pictures and charts. I think it is cool that they have some of the documents on there that is nice. I dont know who owns it but it was created in East Aurora, New York
