Description
Teach the Whiskey Rebellion with students playing the role of George Washington! This detailed case study activity puts each student in the role of America's first president and requires them to analyze plenty of historical evidence as they decide how they would have responded to three tough situations Washington faced during this time. Students move around the room at various points to compare notes, debate, and defend their choices. This approach is so much more effective than a traditional textbook!
Here's what you get:
*a detailed three-page teaching guide
*a visual thinking preview activity
*a 7-page case study featuring three "Students make the call!" role play & debate activities
*a primary source closing activity featuring a letter from Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton (answer key included)
Enjoy this wonderful Whiskey Rebellion activity that is packed with "Best Practices" resources and activities!
