Mrs. Norris had some revolutionary visitors today in her AP US History courses!
In this interactive research project, students will dive deep into the life and contributions of a prominent figure from the American Revolutionary period. Each student will choose a revolutionary figure, research their background, role in the revolution, key contributions, and their impact on the founding of the United States.
Once the research is complete, students will assume the persona of their chosen figure and participate in a historical "Meet & Greet" event with their classmates. During this session, students will present their findings through a combination of role-playing, informal discussions, and brief speeches, interacting with their peers as if they were the historical figures they’ve researched.
We love the effort students put into this assignment as they took a trip back to the birth of our country!
