Valley Forge: Source comparison, Hamilton song, and Poem activity
- Google Slides™
Description
Would you have deserted Valley Forge?
Students must answer this question as they learn more about Valley Forge, the place that ultimately shaped the Continental Army into a fighting force.
This lesson includes: A PAPER AND DIGITAL VERSION
1. Background reading and questions on Valley Forge (one slide)
2. Two sources to analyze (Secondary source, Hamilton song, and primary source diary entries)
3. An I AM poem template where students create a poem about Valley Forge from a soldier's perspective. This is where they would write about if they want to desert or stay strong. They have to reference the sources they read at least 2 times.
Answer key included.
It is a super fun lesson, the paper version is great because students get very creative with their I Am poems!
