This year, I discovered the EduHam lesson plans and research plans. My 7th graders are very excited about their project on Esther Reed, after reviewing the videos provided, my three Lancaster County PA girls 6 - 8 9 - 12 Art/Music English/Language Arts Social Studies/History Technology and are currently writing a Sea Shanty (very popular on TikTok this year), on Esther's life and battle with George Washington. The idea of hyperlinking every line in the written work to a primary source from the LoC has been an interesting challenge that has motivated my students to find accurate and relevant content. I'm hoping that this will not be the only year for the competition, but the activity could easily work for any curriculum.
