Lexington in 1775...

In social studies, we are studying Lexington in 1775.  This unit, developed with the National Heritage Museum, puts students in the shoes of REAL eighteenth century Lexington kids.  Each of our students is a historical child, from Jonathan Harrington to Lucy Brown.  They are learning about their families, their farms (yes... EVERY Lexington resident was a farmer in the late 1700's, even the minister).  You can see an example of the lesson and the children's "role cards" here:
