Objectives
In this unit students will examine and discuss both art and historical fiction from the Revolutionary War. Students will compare and contrast art and literature as a basis for their student led inquiry based discussions. The students will examine quotations from historical figures during the time period and connect them to specific works of art. Throughout the unit, students will write from the perspectives of individuals contained in works of art while incorporating imagery and figurative language. Within their writing, the students will make emotional connections with the events and people the artists and writers are portraying. To culminate their work, students will write an argument essay aligned with the common core standards about whether the perspectives of individuals in regard to race, class and gender during the Revolutionary War still exist today.
