From the Boston Tea Party to the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the Victory at Yorktown, put yourself on the scene of the American Revolution's most dramatic moments! Become one of Liberty's Kids, the unflappable young journalists in search of the ultimate cover story. Liberty's Kids immerses students in the colonial adventures of Sara Phillips and James Hiller, two fictional print shop apprentices, as they get swept up in the history of the American Revolution. Beginning at Benjamin Franklin's print shop in Philadelphia, students embark on a journalistic exploration of seven historical events. Each event leads them on a different re-playable quest as they pursue the latest "scoop" for the front page of the Pennsylvania Gazette daily newspaper. Students experience what it was like to be involved in this seminal time in history while exploring compelling locations, collecting interesting items, and interviewing fascinating historical figures such as George Washington, Abigail Adams, and Thomas Jefferson.

Learn valuable skills of investigative reporting such as listening, observation, and separating fact from opinion. Meet more than 30 interactive characters including famous heroes like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Abigail Adams, and Paul Revere. Experience seven replayable events, portrayed from different perspectives. Gather facts from an expansive reference guide to people, places, and events. Challenge yourself with more than 20 printable puzzles, games, and quizzes. Publish and print your own front-page newspaper story! Experience the American Revolution as one of Liberty's Kids: the fearless young reporters determined to get to the truth. Meet fascinating characters, observe great turning points, and witness first hand the birth of a nation. You'll never look at history the same way again
