Artifact Bag 2

  

 As a lesson to add to my unit plan, I created an Artifact Bag that goes along with my lessons on the American Revolution. This is a picture of the outside of my artifact bag. During the American Revolution, the British arrived in harbors around Boston to attack the colonists. This is a representation of those times. Remember, this project and the three artifacts in the bag will lead to an important person during the American Revolution.

The first artifact in the bag is a copy of the Declaration of Independence. This was very important to colonists because it declared their independence from Britain. This document was also signed by a variety of men.

This is a map of Boston during the time of the American Revolution. Boston was a main location for many battles and important meetings during the war. This is also the birth place of a very important founding father.

During the American Revolution, many important figures used pocket watches to keep track of time.

All of these clues take a little bit of thinking and a few more clues and a large amount of research to figure out who they are about. In the end, students do enough research to figure out that the person is Benjamin Franklin.
