Expert Pack: Remember the Ladies: Women of the American Revolution Expert Pack: Remember the Ladies: Women of the American Revolution Submitted by: Jenny Gapp, Laurie Dougherty, Jeri Whitson, and Rebekah Hardy, Portland, OR Grade: 5-7 Date: September 2015 Topic/Subject Remember the Ladies: Women of the American Revolution Texts/Resources Books 1. Mumbet's Declaration of Independence 2. Founding Mothers: Remembering the Ladies Articles 3. “Just Say No!--the Daughters of Liberty” 4. “Remembering the Ladies” 5. “Abigail Adams letter to John Adams ‘Remember the Ladies’" “Revolutionary Women: In More Ways Than One” Other Media 6. “History.com’s American Revolution” Each expert pack contains a variety of selections grouped to create as coherent and gradual a learning process for students as possible, generally beginning with lower levels as measured by quantitative and qualitative measures, and moving to more complex levels in the latter selections. This gradated approach helps support students’ ability to read the next selection and to become ‘experts’ on the topic they are reading about. Refer to annotated bibliography on the following pages for the suggested sequence of readings. Rationale and suggested sequence for reading: In the first resource, Mumbet's Declaration of Independence, students are introduced to the concept of basic freedom as it relates both to an individual woman and an entire country. The next resource, History.com’s brief film clip, draws in students with scenes of historical reenactors fighting in the American Revolution. If a teacher feels this clip isn’t appropriate, alternative film clips are provided by School House Rock listed in ‘Additional Resources.’ The next two articles, “Just Say No—The Daughters of Liberty” and “Remembering the Ladies,” expose students to a myriad of roles women played during the war. An extensive informational magazine on “Revolutionary Women” from Discover follows, providing profiles on a number of subtopics relating to women’s contributions. Many names are dropped at this point and students may wonder about more details of a particular woman’s story. The opportunity for this learning comes by selecting two biography profiles to read from Founding Mothers: Remembering the Ladies. A recommended film clip and comprehension activity lead to the most complex article in the set, a primary source document, Abigail Adams 1776 letter to John Adams dubbed, "Remember the Ladies.” The playful banter between husband and wife bring the Expert Pack full circle with the reminder that not all people in the colonies were considered “free and equal.” This provides a foreshadowing of future social revolutions in American history. The Common Core Shifts for ELA/Literacy: 1. Regular practice with complex text and its academic language 2. Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational 3. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction Though use of these expert packs will enhance student proficiency with most or all of the Common Core Standards, they focus primarily on Shift 3, and the highlighted portions of the standards below. College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading Literary and/or Informational Texts (the darkened sections of the standards are the focus of the Expert Pack learning for students): 1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. 2. Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. 10. Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently Annotated Bibliography and suggested sequence for reading 540L Mumbet's Declaration of Independence Author: Gretchen Woelfle Genre: Biography Length: 32 pages Synopsis: In 1781, Mumbet, a slave girl, sued for her own freedom in Massachusetts and won. Vibrant illustrations infuse hope, even in the story's upsetting moments. The author's note acknowledges many details of Mumbet's life that were lost to history. Enough evidence remained for this story to stand as a reminder that the freedoms gained from the outcome of the American Revolution left many behind. Citation: Woelfle, G., & Delinois, A. (2014).

Recommended Student Activities: Wonderings N/A “History.com - American Revolution” Author: History.com; A&E Television Networks Genre: U. S. History, visual and audible information Length: 3:20 minutes Synopsis: The American Revolution was fought to gain freedom from British rule. The ideas for revolution began with those in business who demonstrated “intellectual bravery.” The Americans won because they believed in what they were fighting for (freedom), as opposed to fighting for a king.

  • John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and the Quasi-War with France
    John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and the Quasi-War with France David Loudon General University Honors Professor Robert Griffith, Faculty Advisor American University, Spring 2010 1 John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and the Quasi-War with France Abstract This paper examines the split of the Federalist Party and subsequent election defeat in 1800 through the views of John Adams and Alexander Hamilton on the Quasi-War with France. More specifically, I will be focusing on what caused their split on the French issue. I argue that the main source of conflict between the two men was ideological differences on parties in contemporary American politics. While Adams believed that there were two parties in America and his job was to remain independent of both, Hamilton saw only one party (the Republicans), and believed that it was the goal of all “real” Americans to do whatever was needed to defeat that faction. This ideological difference between the two men resulted in their personal disdain for one another and eventually their split on the French issue. Introduction National politics in the early American republic was a very uncertain venture. The founding fathers had no historical precedents to rely upon. The kind of government created in the American constitution had never been attempted in the Western World; it was a piecemeal system designed in many ways more to gain individual state approval than for practical implementation. Furthermore, while the fathers knew they wanted opposition within their political system, they rejected political parties as evil and dangerous to the public good. This tension between the belief in opposition and the rejection of party sentiment led to confusion and high tensions during the early American republic.

Indeed I do not hesitate to say that it has done more to enhance our understandings of the challenges of urban life and urban inequality than any other media event or scholarly publication, including studies by social scientists…The Wire develops morally complex characters on each side of the law, and with its scrupulous exploration of the inner workings of various institutions, including drug-dealing gangs, the police, politicians, unions, public schools, and the print media, viewers become aware that individuals’ decisions and behaviour are often shaped by - and indeed limited by - social, political, and economic forces beyond their control". Professor William Julius Wilson, Harvard University Seminar about The Wire, 4th April 2008.

  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.
