Declaring Independence Contd.

Today we finished reading and discussing the Declaration of Independence (see prior post) and then divided the Foner section on the Revolutionary War (158-165) into six parts. The class was divided into groups with each assigned one of the six sections. Each group was then directed to turn their section into an episode of an HBO miniseries titled "The Revolution". Each episode needed to have: a title; a list of main characters; a plot synopsis; an image; and a brief review. All of the information is on a poster displayed in the classroom.
