While completing the task you will need to take detailed notes on all information you find. Make sure to document where you find the information. Begin to think about you can make your presentation come to life.
1. Brainstorm – In order to decide which army you will be a part you will need to begin to research and read more about the Revolutionary War. A great starting point is to use our History Hunters workbook to read about Cliveden House and how it was used in the Battle of Germantown.
2. Research – You will need to understand what supplies were available to the American troops versus the British troops. Find out what their uniforms consisted of. What weapons they would have carried. You may use print and online resources. Make sure you document where your information came from.
3. Gather material – Find materials including photographs and diagrams to include in your slideshow. Gather materials that you can use for your uniform. Also, you may be creative and design your uniform using items from home.
4. Create presentation – Create your slideshow following our Google Slideshow format. Slide one must include an introduction followed by a minimum of 6 slides explaining your life as either a British solider or an American solider during the Battle of Germantown. Your final slide must include your Resource page.
5. Present – Be ready to share your slideshow in “uniform” to the class.
