Program Details

Format

1. Program begins with a discussion of the revolutionary war. Students will see a real revolutionary war soldier's uniform.
2. Students will then discuss the definition of "primary source," as well as the benefits and limitations of using primary sources to learn about the past.
3. We examine reproduction artifacts to determine their use, what they can tell us about the life of a revolutionary war soldier and society.
4. Time is dedicated at the end of the program for any questions.

Objectives

The students will:
-- gain an appreciation for the use of primary sources.
-- gain a deeper understanding of what it was like to be a soldier during the Revolutionary War.
-- understand how artifacts can teach us about society during the Revolutionary War period.
-- engage in a discussion about how we can use artifacts to learn about a moment in time.
