What educators are saying
GREAT activity to work on analysis skills. Challenging, engaging, and really effective at teaching them about the Puritan religion.
I needed to liven up my Scarlet Letter unit and this definitely helped! What a novel and interesting way to learn about the Puritans! Kids are definitely intrigued.
Description
In this activity, students use documents from the Puritan period to analyze the beliefs of the Puritans and their impact on American history. The focus of the activity is a "walk through a Puritan Graveyard" with pictures of actual gravestones. The activity includes 10 documents, 9 pictures of Puritan gravestones, an anticipation guide, an ACT-Style reading and a "build-an-essay" activity. Plus, included in the download are 9 hi-res images of the Puritan gravestones so that they can be printed out in large format and used to create a virtual graveyard in the classroom or outside. Ideal for an A.P. class, but can be adapted to any high school or middle school curriculum.
The preview includes 9 pages from the document.
