Paul Revere: American Patriot

Description:

In this lesson, students explore the life and legend of Paul Revere. Revere, an American patriot during the Revolutionary War period, was immortalized 85 years later by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in a poem featuring Revere’s daring ride to warn countrymen “the British are coming!” After reading the poem, students explore websites that describe Revere’s life, his well-known ride (as well as an earlier one), and his occupation. They then talk about what was accurate—and what was not—in the poem. Information from all the sources students explore is then used for center activities and projects.
