A+Brief+Overview

 The assignment I have designed is intended as an end of section formative assessment. As a result, students will have gone over the information needed to complete this assignment prior to the instructional days I am focusing on. See the Prior Knowledge Section for such materials. The students will be creating a journal of a common person during the American Revolution. The students will be divided in half with one half being Loyalist and the other half being Patriots. Furthermore, students will be further divided in Anglo, African, or Native-American on each side. It will be left up to the students to decide if they wish to write as a male or female, urban or rural, free or slave, and soldier or civilian. See Instructional Sequence for the Assignment description as it will be given to students.
