The War of 1812 Quote and Image Analysis

Students read 8 quotes about the War of 1812 from various point of view as well as excerpts from the Star Spangled Banner, analyze 9 images, answer 15 questions, and respond to up to 6 extension tasks. This would be great for a sub and the answers are included where appropriate. 

Sample questions include:
