Prepare your
notebook

Anyone who wants to learn a book

(not just read it) needs to keep a
notebook. Whenever you can, buy
your own copy of a book youre
reading for an assignment. That
way, you can highlight it and write
notes in the margins.

NUMBER THE PAGES

Number the first pages up to page 9 numbering

both fronts and backs of pages. Since the first
page of a notebook usually gets lots of wear
and frequently tears out, skip it. Page 3 will be
your title page. Write the title of the book and
the authors names on this page. Skip to page 6
where your table of contents will begin. Label
the top of this page, Table of Contents.
Label the top of page 9, Chapter 1. This is
where youll start taking notes and answering
questions. Keep numbering pages as you go
along and be sure to add these to your table of
contents.

The Old North Bridge, Concord, Ma

MAP THE 13 COLONIES

Download, print and cut out the map of the 13

colonies on page 11 of this document. Glue or
tape the map on page 4. Youll be marking
locations discussed in the book on this map.

CREATE A GLOSSARY

Go to the back of your notebook and count in 5

pages. Label this page, Glossary. You will be
adding specific words to your glossary, but add
any other words you dont know as well. Use a
post-it note as a page tab so you can easily find
your glossary as you read the book.

Buckman Tavern on Lexington Green, Ma

The Old North Church, Boston, Ma

This book is fiction, but it takes place in a

real town in Connecticut. Many of the
historic events described in the book really
happened and many of the people are based
on real people from history. This is known as
historical fiction.

CHORES LIST

In the past, children were required to

work much harder than they are today.
On page 5, list all the chores you are
responsible to do at home. Then, as you
read the book, list all the chores
children were responsible for doing in
the colonial era.
QUESTIONS & ACTIVITIES

1. Who is the narrator and how old is

he? What supports this in the book?
2. Who are the Lobsterbacks and who
are the Minutemen? Why were these
names given?
3. Watch the video First Revolutionary
Battle at Lexington and Concord at
the History Channel website (copy
and paste the title in the search box).
What year did this occur? Who fired
the 1st shot? Why was this battle
significant or important?
4. Mark Lexington and Concord on
your 13 colonies map (click on the
names to the right of the mapin
the legendto see where theyre
located).

5. Watch the History Channel video

called The Sons of Liberty and the
Boston Tea Party. What year did
this occur? What were the colonists
trying to achieve?

Similes:
...making a sound like
muffled drums.

6. Mark Boston on your 13 colonies

map.

Hell lead us through

the Lobsterbacks like a
hot knife through
butter.

7. What type of personality does Sams

father have? What do the authors say
to support this? Cite at least 3
examples.

...his brains sliding out

of him like wet oats.

8. Tim frequently mentions sins. What

sins does he mention? Keep a list on
pg. 8 of your notebook. Why do you
think Tim thinks about sins so often?

Add any other example

of figurative language
you find to your
notebook. Good writers
know how to use
figurative language well.

9. Who were the Tories or Loyalists?

Think about this:

Perspective

What kept
confusing me about
it was that the
argument didnt
have two sides the
way an argument
should, but about
six sides.

King George III in Coronation Robes.

QUESTIONS & ACTIVITIES

1.Re-read the description of Tom Warrups home. Go to this website to see what it
looked like? What is this type of Native American home called? Draw a picture of
Toms home and label it based on how the authors describe it.
2.The authors mention Lexington and Concord several times. Who wrote the poem
that made the phrase, The shot heard round the world famous and what was the
name of the poem? Watch this video to see what happened there.

3.The soldiers Sam joined were sometimes called rebels and

sometimes called patriots. Whats the difference?
4.If you were Tim, would you tell your father Sam stole
Brown Bess? Why or why not?

A Brown Bess also known as a British

Land Pattern Musket

Personification:
...the file making
the metal sing...
Metaphors:
At first all I could
hear was the heavy
drum roll sound of
hooves;
The Militia beat the Redcoats and took Fort Ticonderoga in order to capture
their canon and other arms to help defend Boston. The heavy equipment
had
to be hauled across lakes and snow covered mountains, but Colonel Henry
Knox did it and the Redcoats were driven out of Boston.

QUESTIONS AND ACTIVITIES

Dont forg

et
1.The battle at Bunker Hill was
chores on pag to list all the
e 5.
misnamed. Read this article. What was
the name of the hill where this battle was
fought? Because the American militia was low on
ammunition, what were they told to do?
2.Mark Bunker Hill on your map (click on Bunker Hill in the legend for
help finding it on the map).
3.Tims father read about Bunker Hill & Fort Ticonderoga. Mark Fort
Ticonderoga on your map (click on the place names in the map
legend). How did he get information about these events? Why was
it dangerous?
4.Name the games Tim played with Jerry Sanford. See how the
games are played.
5.Beer was a common drink in Colonial America. Read why
here and add what you learn to your notebook.
6.Why were the Patriots disarming the Loyalists?
7.If Sam had stopped, what do you think Life would have said to him?
Why? What did the characters do or say earlier in the book that can
support your guess?

Then suddenly
they came pouring
around the bend of
the road...
Not everybody is
willing to play the
dog to the King.

QUESTIONS & ACTIVITIES

1.The only form of communication in Colonial times were

newspapers and pamphlets, so people received news long after
it happened. How do you think our modern day instant
communication would have changed the Revolutionary War?

Holystoning means using a

block of soft sandstone to sand
the top of a table to smooth the
surface.

2.The prices of goods keep increasing and it is harder to find items the Meekers need
for the tavern & store. Do some online research. What is the increase of prices called?
List the reasons why the costs are increasing and goods are harder to find. Quote
specific lines from the book that mention this.
3.The tavern must have wood for the fire to cook and for heating. Wood was of critical
importance. Scroll down to the subheading Wood in this article. Name the 4 other
uses for wood. How much wood did the average family use to heat their homes and
cook their meals?
4. Make a prediction about Mr. Heron. Do you think he is really a Tory or a Patriot?
What has he said or done that supports your guess?

3. When they pass houses with

children, Tim says, It made me
feel proud of myself for being a
man while they were still
children, and I shouted at the
oxen and smacked them on their rumps
with my stick, just to show off how casual
and easy I was with oxen... Was Tim
really becoming a man if hes still trying
to show off ? Does this remind you of an
earlier event in the book? Who did Tim
admire for his casual, easy way of
doing something?

Hardtack is
food common a hard biscuit like
in the Revoluly eaten by soldiers
ti
even the Civil onary War (and
War).

4. Why do you think Tim said he was in a foreign country when they crossed the
New York Colony line? Use dialog or facts from the book to defend your answer.

5.Read the article about Trenton. Who were the Hessians?

How many stayed in America after the war?

Before the Internet and TV,

people used almanacs for
predictions of weather, tides,
the rising and setting of the
sun, etc. See a version for
kids here. Be sure to change
it to your location.

Think about this:

Propaganda

In the 4th paragraph Tim

said Sam wrote about the
Rebels being beaten in
New York, but the way
Sam wrote about it, he
made it seem like a
glorious victory for the
Rebels. This is known as
propaganda. You have
probably used
propaganda too! Have
you ever gotten into an
argument with your
sibling and then told an
exaggerated version of
what happened to your
parents, so it sounded
better for you?
