Washington and Jefferson are in every textbook. This project asks students to put someone else in the spotlight by turning an unsung figure’s story into a movie that’s “coming soon to theaters.”
What’s inside
A starter list of historical figures: Deborah Sampson, Polly Cooper, William “Billy” Lee, Nancy Hart, Peter Francisco, Salem Poor, and Nathanael Greene (students can also pick their own)
4 project pieces: a movie poster, a plot synopsis, a Rotten Tomatoes-style review with a Critics’ Score, and a theme song with a short explanation
A full example using Benedict Arnold, so students see exactly what’s expected
Details: 90-120 minutes | Grades 8-12 | PDF, 4 pages
Also part of the Unit 3: Revolutionary Era plan.
