Washington's Farewell Address Modern Day Mash-Up!

Washington's Farewell address is overwhelming if you read the entire thing! I've pulled 6 excerpts from his Farewell Address for students to analyze. In this purchase you will be able to choose from 4 different ways for students to interpret this important document.

• 1) Tweet your summary
• 2) a "normal" - put it in your own words
• 3) Create a HIP HOP/RAP summary (this one is fun)
• 4) Match the excerpt to modern words (cut out strips - suggested to be used with struggling learners)

In addition to the 4 versions of the assignment, you will receive instructions, and a key to the modern matching version.

Why do students love it?

• The primary source excerpts are "chunked" which make them easier to understand. Not overwhelming!
• Student choice! The excerpts are the same in each version, they can choose which one to use to show what they know!

• Instant differentiation.
• The modified version is done for you - to help your struggling learners.
