What educators are saying

My students enjoyed this activity!! They liked listening to the music in class and were thoughtful in their comparisons of each song. Easy to use and assign for classwork or homework purposes.

Rated 5 out of 5

We really enjoyed this resource and it was an excellent way to have students evaluate the lyrics to determine meaning and compare that with modern presidential campaigns. Overall, they had such a fun time with the campaign songs.

Description

In this fantastic worksheet, students are presented with the lyrics of the 2 famous campaign songs from the election of 1828. Andrew Jackson was challenging John Quincy Adams in one of the most heated elections in US history.

After analyzing the lyrics to both of these famous songs, students are presented with several CCSS-based questions to gauge their understanding and promote critical thinking. Finally, they compose their own campaign song based off of what they have learned.

This is a simple assignment but encourages creativity and higher-order thinking. It's also great to have students share the songs they've created when they finish!

Both an editable Google Doc version of the worksheet and complete answer key are also included!

This makes for a great introduction to this Age of Andrew Jackson PowerPoint.
