Following the Surrender at Yorktown Emily McCallum Hannah Robinson Michele Brigham

How did the surrender at Yorktown affect the colonists? We chose this activity because it is one of the Revolutionary War events emphasized by the Standards of Learning. This is a great opportunity to discuss the result of the surrender and how it affected the different ideological groups of colonists.

Painting of the Surrender at Yorktown What do you see? What do you not see that you were expecting to see? (close reading) Who are the people? (close reading) Who do you think this painting was intended for? (contextualizing) Is the account believable: why or why not? (sourcing)

Discussion Class discussion will explore how the Patriots and the Tories might feel about the news of the surrender at Yorktown and the end of the war and why they might be experiencing those reactions.

Document Who is the author? (sourcing) What is the tone? (close reading) What is the message? (close reading) When did it take place? (context) What was the opinion or viewpoint reflected in this writing? Was this person a loyalist, a patriot, or neutral?

Document Who is the author? (sourcing) What is the tone? (close reading) What is the message? (close reading) When did it take place? (context) What was the opinion or viewpoint reflected in this writing? How is the opinion of the girl different from the newspaper article? (corroborating) Was this person a loyalist, a patriot, or neutralist?

Assessment: Perspective Taking Pick Patriot or Loyalist. Now draw a picture or write a journal entry from your chosen side depicting your feelings/opinions concerning the end of the war. – Draw or write it in such a way that the reader will be able to tell which side you chose without directly telling us. OR List 3 advantages and 3 disadvantages to being on the side you chose after the War for Independence ended. Describe why each was an advantage or disadvantage.

The assessment measures the ability of the students to take the historical perspective of their chosen character and summarize the results of the decisions they were asked to make as a result of this event.
