William Bradford: the Pen and the Person
William Bradford: the Pen and the Person
Description:
Pilgrim William Bradford was the long-time leader of the Plymouth Colony. His ability to manage men and affairs was a significant factor in the survival and success of the colony. In this unit, students will read passages written by William Bradford. The original 17th century language and spelling have been maintained. The selection of readings is determined both by the historical significance of the event described and accessibility to high school students. The focus of the unit, both the readings and the supporting activities, is to impart the ability to follow and absorb historical accounts so as to reflect thoughtfully upon them. Students will explore the writings of William Bradford for insights into the nature and limitations of primary source materials and for insights into Bradford’s character and the nature of personal leadership.
