Traveling Trunks
Use this traveling trunk to guide your students to make connections between the past and the present by analyzing artifacts, gathering evidence through hands-on lessons, and participating in class discussions. Discover how colonial life was different from life today, learn how resources shaped daily life, and explore the difficulties of life in colonial Virginia.
What did a Revolutionary War soldier carry in his haversack? In this program, you will look at reproduction artifacts and critically analyze them using your five senses to determine what they are, what they are made of, what they were used for, and what they can tell us about the life of a Revolutionary War soldier.
