This is a link to PBS' teacher resource guides about the American Revolution. There are six separate teacher guides that all connect to PBS' "Liberty! The American Revolution" film series. They are comprehensive and follow the entirety of the Revolution beginning with the decision to split from England through the Federalist/Anti-Federalist debate over the development of the constitution.

This second link is from the Library of Congress. It is a comprehensive collection of links to a variety of sources that a teacher can use when covering the Revolutionary War in their classroom. The links are listed by topic and come from an array of places all of which are reputable (PBS, BBC, NY Times and various historical foundations). I did not examine every site, but nearly every link I went took me to a site with a wealth of information including a teacher's guide and/or lesson plan.

This last link is connected to the one above and looks great for any unit you are teaching. It isn't perfect because it takes a little more time to find what you but you can use the Library of Congress website and search for lessons plans and other classroom materials by grade level and subject that connect to individual state standards. There are a huge number of materials that are broken up by course including US History I and II as well as World History I and II
