Solving VignettesWhat Should I do?
This activity takes students through an organized decision-making process using true stories of ordinary Lexington citizens at the time of the Revolution. History happens to ordinary people, not just the rich and famous. Students will read short scenarios describing difficult, sometimes life threatening, decisions Lexington residents had to make on the day of the Battle on the Green. They will be asked to consider the alternative choices available to these people at the time, to decide which is the best decision and why, and to support their selection. At the end of the exercise, students will learn what actually happened to these real Lexington residents.
