Independence Hall: Across Time, For All
This lesson could be included in a unit covering the creation of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or the ideals of either of these documents.Students will be able to understand how local landmarks play an important role in the history we remember, especially when historical events take place in or around these landmarks. The big idea being addressed by this lesson is that historical landmarks can mean different things to different groups of people and that this meaning can change over time. The landmark of Independence Hall and primary source drawings and images of this landmark will play an integral role in meeting the objectives of this lesson.
