What teachers say about this American Revolution gallery walk:
This was a great gallery walk! I love using art and prints to teach students about History! They get really good at analyzing events and fact-checking the artist!
Gallery walks are my favorite way to introduce a new topic and this one did not disappoint! The kids learned a lot and were engaged.
I loved using this in class. We did it before discussing the battles, so it was a great discussion starter when we started learning more about the war. It also got the students up and walking around the room as well as discussing with their partner what they saw in each picture.
This provided a great introduction to our Revolutionary Unit. The paintings in particular brought forth some great noticings and follow-up discussion. Great product!
I love this activity! We used this before taking notes and discussing the individual battles of the Revolution, so this really puts their "thinking like a historian" skills to use. Very engaging and discussion-provoking!
