9 Important Historical Events and the People who Starred in Them
by Joe Gorman and Jack
Trammell
Nine historical scripts and
accompanying standards-based critical thinking activities offer a unique way of
“telling” American history. It is a creative, fun approach to the study of the
events – the building blocks – of our country.
Several script characters are fictional in order to give
students a better understanding of what happened; however most characters are
real, reciting actual quotes. Teachers and students choose the level of
involvement – students can read it individually as dialogue, present it as
readers’ theatre, or stage a play with props and costumes.
Accompanying each event are differentiated activities that
include vocabulary, checking for comprehension, questions calling for critical
thinking, suggestions for further research, creative activities, discussion,
and debate, involving all learning styles.
Events include: American Revolution, War of 1812, Westward
Expansion, Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I and II, the Cold War
and the Civil Rights Movement.
