Who was Yankee Doodle? Why did he put a feather in his cap and call it macaroni?

These questions, and many more, can be explored using these resources.  From the arts to history . . . these are wonderful ways to engage students in many courses.  These are great resources for Constitution Day as well as the upcoming Presidential Election 2016! 

​What are the connections between the American Revolution and what is happening in America today?
 
Integrate technology through videography and filmmaking – students can create . . .

• Mini-documentaries like those seen on the History Channel, Biography Channel, Science Channel, Discovery Channel . . .
• A cooking show (I recommend using the format of Good Eats with Alton Brown).   
• Talk shows interviewing characters from the past such as Yankee Doodle or John Adams
• Create live or recorded commentary and analysis on the current presidential election.  This could include analyzing speeches, advertisements and distributed materials.
