Our Summary of What Made George Washington a Good Military Leader

There are 8 activities spread over 4 Lessons here. That's a lot. We like lesson 3, though you may want to check these out on your own. Lesson 3 involves giving each group a separate set of primary sources (written by GW) and a few secondary sources. Groups answer questions and then the class discusses the overarching question.

You'll need to log-on. Accounts are free for K-12 educators and cost $25/yr for everyone else.

Grade Level:  HS, (College)

  • This lesson is meant for high school (HS) students.
  • However, we think it would be excellent for college students so we put them in parentheses

Remote Ready:  With Modifications

  • Links to the reading assignments can easily be emailed or posted for students.
  • It’s much easier for small groups or pairs to coordinate a phone call or video conference meeting than for the entire class to sync their schedules.  Have these small groups post answers, a synopsis, or a video of their discussion to your LMS. 
  • Paraphrase questions into your LMS so you can grade student’s written answers online rather than in an email or on a worksheet.  Or if a graphic organizer is amazingly well done, you could have your students take a picture of their completed work and email it to you.
