My Brother Sam Is Dead novel Am. Revolution Unit
Of all the American Revolution novels I have taught in grades 5-10, My Brother Sam is Dead is still my favorite because of its impressive development of fascinating characters, sharp dialogue, presentation of themes involving the effects of war on a family and a community and the young narrator's viewpoint. It is a timeless, classic, sensitive war novel whose issues could apply to any war. It lends itself wonderfully to reading the dialogue out loud as if it were a play and even so-so readers ar
