What educators are saying
This was such a great resource! My scholars loved doing this. The only thing I did differently was made it into an impeachment trial so I can explain to scholars what it means when a President gets impeached.
I ran out of time at the end of the school year to use this resource, but it would have been perfect!
Description
Andrew Jackson: Hero or Villain? If he were put on trial, what would the verdict be? Students get to analyze both sides of this famous American president during this fun Common Core activity. Students will analyze primary and secondary sources to build their cases and then play to role of the lawyers, witnesses, and jury as they determine once and for all if Jackson is the hero of the common man, or the devil incarnate.
