Hamilton VS Jefferson Opposition Grudge Match Common Core Activity
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Will it be a political party knock out? Students decide who wins based on seven rounds of political policy issues debated by the Federalists and Republicans in early American history. Students identify the political party that best represents their own opinions. This activity is common core because students analyze and interpret quotes from both Hamilton and Jefferson. A fun critical thinking activity that fits perfectly in a New Nation or Early American Politic Unit.
This activity can also be used as a class review. Students go to either the "Hamilton", or "Jefferson" side of the room. Another idea is that students write the quotes on post-it notes and then stick them on the appropriate wall where the teacher has posted a picture of Hamilton or Jefferson.
